17Certainely as without cause the net is spred before the eyes of all that hath wing:
18So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for their liues.
19Such are the wayes of euery one that is greedy of gaine: he would take away the life of the owners thereof.
20Wisdome cryeth without: she vttereth her voyce in the streetes.
21She calleth in the hye streete, among the prease in the entrings of the gates, and vttereth her wordes in the citie, saying,
22O ye foolish, howe long will ye loue foolishnes? and the scornefull take their pleasure in scorning, and the fooles hate knowledge?
23(Turne you at my correction: loe, I will powre out my mind vnto you, and make you vnderstand my wordes)
24Because I haue called, and ye refused: I haue stretched out mine hand, and none woulde regarde.
25But ye haue despised all my counsell, and would none of my correction.
26I will also laugh at your destruction, and mocke, when your feare commeth.
27Whe your feare cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shall come like a whirle wind: whe affliction and anguish shall come vpon you,
28Then shall they call vpon me, but I will not answere: they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me,
29Because they hated knowledge, and did not chuse the feare of the Lord.
30They would none of my counsell, but despised all my correction.
31Therefore shall they eate of ye fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuises.
