Wisdom is calling in the heat of the night
Listen, wisdom is calling out in the street and in the marketplace
Calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together
How long will you enjoy pouring out scorn and knowledge
Will we never, never learn
Only when we're in pain and misery
We'll call for wisdom, but we will not find it
Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom
Wisdom is calling in the heat of the night
Listen to what is wise and try to understand it
Yes, beg for knowledge, plead for insight
Look for it hard as you would for silver and some hidden treasure
Ooh, if you do, you'll know what the fear of the Lord is
It's the Lord that giveth wisdom and from Him cometh knowledge and understanding
Wisdom is calling out in the street and in the marketplace
Calling loudly in the city gates and wherever people come together
Wisdom is calling
Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom
Wisdom will protect those who treat others fairly
You will know what you should do, you'll become wise
And your knowledge will give you pleasure and insight
Ooh, your understanding will protect you
Keep you from those who abundant righteous lies
And live in darkness and sin
Men who find pleasure in doing, doing wrong
And enjoy senseless evil
Unreliable men who cannot be trusted
Wisdom is calling
Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom
Wisdom
