Context of Proverbs 1:30
28Then they will cry out to me, but I will not answer! They will earnestly seek me, but will not find me. 29Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of Adonai, they would not accept my counsel, they spurned all my reproof, 31so they will eat the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own schemes. 32For the backsliding of the naïve will kill them and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
