Context of Proverbs 1:31
29They have refused to learn what is right. They have refused to respect the Lord. 30They have not agreed to my advice. When I warned them, they turned away. So now they will receive the trouble that they deserve. Their own wicked ideas will make them sick. 32Silly people have turned away from me, and that will kill them. Fools like an easy life, and that will destroy them. 33But whoever listens to me, Wisdom, will live safely. That person will have peace in his mind. He will not be afraid of trouble.’
