Proverbs 1:22-27

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? How long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

²³Turn ye at my reproof! Behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make known my words to you!

²⁴“Because I have called, and ye have refused,—Because I have stretched out my hand, and no one hath regarded.

²⁵Because ye have rejected all my counsel, And have slighted my rebuke,—

²⁶I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷When your fear cometh upon you like a storm. And destruction overtaketh you like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
