Proverbs 1:20-33

NIV

NRS

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;
20 Wisdom cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her voice.
21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:
21 At the busiest corner she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
22 "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.
23 Give heed to my reproof; I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you.
24 But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
24 Because I have called and you refused, have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,
25 since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,
25 and because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,
26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you,
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
27 when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,
28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but will not find me.
29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.
29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
30 would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof,
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices.
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
32 For waywardness kills the simple, and the complacency of fools destroys them;
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
33 but those who listen to me will be secure and will live at ease, without dread of disaster."
