¹ Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice?

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God's Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ;

²⁰ yes, making it my aim to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another's foundation.

²¹ But, as it is written, "They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven't heard will understand."

²¹ "He said to me, 'Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.'"

⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."

³⁷ Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

¹⁵ He said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to the whole creation.

¹⁶ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

¹⁰ The Gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

¹⁹ Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

¹⁷ From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

³ For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight."

¹ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come you to the waters, and he who has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

² Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

³ Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

¹ Listen, isles, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:

² and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:

³ and he said to me, You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

⁴ But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Yahweh, and my recompense with my God.

⁵ Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God is become my strength);

⁶ yes, he says, It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

² She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.

³ She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:

²⁰ Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.

²¹ She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
