Proverbs 1

20 Ref Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;

21 Ref Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:

22 Ref How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

23 Ref Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

24 Ref Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;

25 Ref You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:

26 Ref So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;

27 Ref When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.

28 Ref Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:

29 Ref For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:

30 Ref They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them.

31 Ref So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.

32 Ref For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction.

33 Ref But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.
