Proverbs 1:28-33 ▼

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.

32 For the turning away of the simple will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

33 But he who listens to me shall dwell securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
