Follys call: She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, calling out to passersby, who go straight on their way. Folly positions herself at the city's public places, parallel to Wisdom's position. She 'calls out to passersby' (l'oberim derekh), attempting to intercept those walking their paths. The description 'go straight on their way' suggests that those with genuine purpose can pass by, but the vulnerable, the undecided, the undisciplined are likely to turn aside.
