And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
