Proverbs 1:23-31

²³Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.

²⁴Since I called, and you° did not listen; and I spoke at length, and you° gave no heed;

²⁵but you° set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;

²⁶therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

²⁷yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

²⁸For it shall be that when you° call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

²⁹For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:

³⁰neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.

³¹Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
