19So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors.
20Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21At the head of multitudes she crieth out, in the entrance of the gates of the city she uttereth her words, saying:
22O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?
23Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.
24Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded.
25You have despised all my counsel, and have neglected my reprehensions.
26I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared.
27When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you:
28Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me:
29Because they have hated instruction and received not the fear of the Lord,
30Nor consented to my counsel, but despised all my reproof.
31Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be filled with their own devices.
32The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
