Proverbs 1:20-30

20Wisdom crieth outside; she uttereth her voice in the streets:1 21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23Turn ye at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit to you, I will make known to you my words. 24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and rejected my reproof: 26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
