Proverbs - ch 1 v 21 - 33
- At the head of multitudes she crieth out, in the entrance of the gates of the city she uttereth her words, saying:
- O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?
- Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.
- Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded.
- You have despised all my counsel, and have neglected my reprehensions.
- I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared.
- When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you:
- Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me:
- Because they have hated instruction and received not the fear of the Lord,
- Nor consented to my counsel, but despised all my reproof.
- Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be filled with their own devices.
- The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
- But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils.
