Proverbs 1:24-33

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