Exegesis
The object–verb order in amareha tomer {אֲמָרֶיהָ תֹאמֵר | ʾa-mā-rêhā tō-mêr} foregrounds the content of her words before the act of speaking, highlighting the message itself. English renders the stacked prepositional layers as successive locative phrases to preserve the Hebrew’s rhythmic progression from broad public space to explicit declaration.
In context — Proverbs 1:21
At the head of the noisy places she calls out; at the openings of the city gates in the city she utters her sayings .
