Context of Proverbs 1:31
29Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of Adonai, 30they would not accept my counsel, they spurned all my reproof, so 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. 33But whoever pays attention to me will live securely, and be free from the fear of evil.”
