Proverbs 1:22-32

22 "Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will you enjoy making fun of knowledge? Will you never learn?

22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

23 Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.

23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.

24 I have been calling you, inviting you to come, but you would not listen. You paid no attention to me.

24 But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,

25 You have ignored all my advice and have not been willing to let me correct you.

25 since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,

26 So when you get into trouble, I will laugh at you. I will make fun of you when terror strikes -

26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—

27 when it comes on you like a storm, bringing fierce winds of trouble, and you are in pain and misery.

27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 Then you will call for wisdom, but I will not answer. You may look for me everywhere, but you will not find me.

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,

29 You have never had any use for knowledge and have always refused to obey the Lord.

29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.

30 You have never wanted my advice or paid any attention when I corrected you.

30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,

31 So then, you will get what you deserve, and your own actions will make you sick.

31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32 Inexperienced people die because they reject wisdom. Stupid people are destroyed by their own lack of concern.

32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
