Proverbs 8:1

[In Proverbs wisdom and understanding are personified as woman. They stand in contrast to another women called folly (Prov 9:13). To illustrate this the translation is using the title Lady Wisdom in parallel with Madame Insight. The feminine form is used throughout chapter 8 describing wisdom.]
Is it not so that [Lady] Wisdom calls out,
and [Madame] Insight (Understanding) raises her voice?
[In contrast to the promiscuous woman in the previous chapter, there is no secrecy here; the invitation to receive wisdom and understanding is extended openly to all.]
