Proverbs 1:20-33 — Wisdom's Rebuke

Prov.1.20-33

²⁰Wisdom cries out in the street; in the public squares she raises her voice. ²¹At the head of the noisy streets she calls; at the entrances of the gates in the city she speaks her words: ²²How long, O simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will scoffers delight in scoffing and fools hate knowledge? ²³Turn back at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. ²⁴Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention, ²⁵and you ignored all my counsel and would accept none of my reproof, ²⁶I also will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when your dread comes, ²⁷when your dread comes like a storm and your disaster arrives like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. ²⁸Then they will call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. ²⁹because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD. ³⁰They would accept none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof. ³¹So they shall eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own schemes. ³²For the turning away of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them. ³³But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety and be at ease, without dread of evil .
