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 ye did not hearken; And I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed;

²⁵But ye set at nought 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:

²⁷Yea 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 ye call upon me, I will not hearken 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.
