Proverbs 1:23-30

²³Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.

²⁴Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

²⁵And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.

²⁶I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,

²⁷When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.

²⁸Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

²⁹Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

³⁰They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,
