Proverbs 1:18-32

18And these layH693 waitH693 for their own bloodH1818; they lurk secretly for their own livesH5315.

19SoH3651 are the pathsH734 of every one that is greedy of gainH1215: it taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of its possessorsH1167.

20Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voiceH6963 in the broadways;

21she calleth in the chiefH7218 [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gatesH8179; in the cityH5892 she uttereth her wordsH561:

22How long, simple ones, will ye loveH157 simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hateH8130 knowledgeH1847?

23TurnH7725 you at my reproof: behold, I will pourH5042 forthH5042 my spiritH7307 unto you, I will makeH3045 knownH3045 to you my wordsH1697.

24Because I have calledH7121, and ye refusedH3985; I have stretchedH5186 out my handH3027, and no one regarded;

25and ye have rejected all my counselH6098, and wouldH14 none of my reproof:

26I alsoH1571 will laughH7832 in your calamityH343, I will mockH3932 when your fearH6343 cometh;

27when your fearH6343 cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamityH343 cometh as a whirlwind; when distressH6869 and anguish comeH935 upon you:

28— thenH227 will they callH7121 upon me, but I will not answerH6030; they will seekH7836 me early, and shall not findH4672 me.

29Because they hatedH8130 knowledgeH1847, and did not chooseH977 the fearH3374 of Jehovah;

30they wouldH14 none of my counselH6098, they despised all my reproof:

31therefore shall they eatH398 of the fruitH6529 of their wayH1870, and be filled with their own devices.

32For the turning away of the simple shall slayH2026 them, and the prosperityH7962 of the foolish shall cause them to perishH6.
