Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 1:20

20. Wisdom crieth without she uttereth her voice in the streets;

Having expressed the counsels and invitations of folly and of wicked men, he now declareth the voice of Wisdom. By the name of Wisdom or Wisdoms he seems to understand the wisdom for counsel of God revealed to the Sons of men by his Word. Which he calls Wisdoms here, as also Prov. 9. 1. either to note the excellency of this Wisdom beyond all other, as the greatest and chief of Beasts is called Bebemoth or Beasts, Job 40. 15. or because it consisteth of a multitude of wise Precepts, or because it hath been delivered to Mankind at sundry times, and in divers manners, and by many Persons, Prophets and Apostles, and especially by the Son of God, who is called the Wisdom of God, Luke 11. 49. And this wisdom is said to cry with a loud voice, to intimate both God's earnestness in inviting sinners to repentance, and their inexcusableness if they do not hear such loud cries.

Or, abroad, or in the streets or open places, as many others render it, and as it is in the next Clause. Not in corners and privily, as Seducers perswade men to error or wickedness, being afraid of the light, but openly and publickly before all the World.
