Proverbs 8:4

Context

8:4 “To you, O people, 1  I call out,

and my voice calls 2  to all mankind. 3 

1 tn Heb “men.” Although it might be argued in light of the preceding material that males would be particularly addressed by wisdom here, the following material indicates a more universal appeal. Cf. TEV, NLT “to all of you.”

2 tn The verb “calls” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for the sake of style.

3 tn Heb “sons of man.” Cf. NAB “the children of men”; NCV, NLT “all people”; NRSV “all that live.”
