Proverbs 1:22-26

²²How long, little men in wit, love young childhood, and fools shall covet those things, that be harmful to themselves, and unprudent men shall hate knowing?

²³Be ye converted at my reproving; lo, I shall bring forth to you my spirit, and I shall show my words.

²⁴For I called, and ye forsook; I held forth mine hand, and none there was that beheld.

²⁵Ye have despised all my counsel; and charged not my blamings.

²⁶And I shall laugh in your perishing; and I shall scorn you, when that, that ye dread, cometh to you.
