Proverbs 1:24-31 ▼

24 Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

25 And you neglected all my counsel And were not willing to accept my reproof;

26 I will also laugh at your disaster; I will mock when your dread comes,

27 When your dread comes like a storm And your disaster comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me earnestly but they will not find me,

29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of Yahweh.

30 They were not willing to accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof.

31 So they shall eat of the fruit of their way And be satisfied with their own devices.
