Proverbs 1:23-33

23Turn to my rebuke, Behold, I will 1pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.24Because 2I called and you 3refused, I 4stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;25And you 5neglected all my advice And did not 6want my rebuke;26I will also 7laugh at your 8disaster; I will mock when your 9dread comes,27When your dread comes like a storm And your disaster comes like a 10whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.28Then they will 11call on me, but I will not answer; They will 12seek me diligently but will not find me,29Because they 13hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord.30They 14did not accept my advice, They disdainfully rejected every rebuke from me.31So they shall 15eat of the fruit of their own way, And be 16filled with their own schemes.32For the 17faithlessness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.33But 18whoever listens to me will live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
