Proverbs
1
20
Wisdom calls out in the street, she shouts loudly in the plazas;
21
at the head of the noisy streets she calls, in the entrances of the gates in the city she utters her words:
22
"How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
23
If only you will respond to my rebuke, then I will pour out my thoughts to you and I will make my words known to you.
24
However, because I called but you refused to listen, because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention,
25
because you neglected all my advice, and did not comply with my rebuke,
26
so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you, I will mock when what you dread comes,
27
when what you dread comes like a whirlwind, and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm, when distressing trouble comes on you.
28
Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.
29
Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the Lord,
30
they did not comply with my advice, they spurned all my rebuke.
31
Therefore they will eat from the fruit of their way, and they will be stuffed full of their own counsel.
32
For the waywardness of the simpletons will kill them, and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.
33
But the one who listens to me will live in security, and will be at ease from the dread of harm.
