Proverbs 1:20-30
20WisdomH2454 criethH7442 withoutH2351; she utterethH5414 her voiceH6963 in the streetsH7339:1 21She criethH7121 in the chief placeH7218 of concourseH1993, in the openingsH6607 of the gatesH8179: in the cityH5892 she utterethH559 her wordsH561, saying, 22How long, ye simple onesH6612, will ye loveH157 simplicityH6612? and the scornersH3887 delightH2530 in their scorningH3944, and foolsH3684 hateH8130 knowledgeH1847? 23TurnH7725 you at my reproofH8433: behold, I will pour outH5042 my spiritH7307 unto you, I will make knownH3045 my wordsH1697 unto you.
24Because I have calledH7121, and ye refusedH3985; I have stretched outH5186 my handH3027, and no man regardedH7181; 25But ye have set at noughtH6544 all my counselH6098, and wouldH14 none of my reproofH8433: 26I also will laughH7832 at your calamityH343; I will mockH3932 when your fearH6343 comethH935; 27When your fearH6343 comethH935 as desolationH7584H7722, and your destructionH343 comethH857 as a whirlwindH5492; when distressH6869 and anguishH6695 comethH935 upon you. 28Then shall they callH7121 upon me, but I will not answerH6030; they shall seek me earlyH7836, but they shall not findH4672 me: 29For that they hatedH8130 knowledgeH1847, and did not chooseH977 the fearH3374 of YhwhH3068: 30They wouldH14 none of my counselH6098: they despisedH5006 all my reproofH8433.
