Proverbs - ch 1 v 21 - 33
- she calleth in the chief place of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words:
- How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?
- Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour forth my spirit unto you, I will make known to you my words.
- Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;
- and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
- I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;
- when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:
- -- then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me.
- Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah;
- they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:
- therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices.
- For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.
- But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil.
