Context of Proverbs 1:30
28Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me. 29Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the Lord, they did not comply with my advice, they spurned all my rebuke. 31Therefore they will eat from the fruit of their way, and they will be stuffed full of their own counsel. 32For the waywardness of the simpletons will kill them, and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.
