Proverbs 1:20-33

20 Wisdom calls out in the street; she raises her voice in the public squares.

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;

21 She cries out above the commotion; she speaks at the entrance of the city gates:

21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 "How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance? [How long] will [you] mockers enjoy mocking and [you] fools hate knowledge?

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

23 If you turn to my discipline, then I will pour out my spirit on you and teach you my words.

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

24 Since I called out and you refused, extended my hand and no one paid attention,

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

25 since you neglected all my counsel and did not accept my correction,

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

26 I, in turn, will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when terror strikes you,

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

27 when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when trouble and stress overcome you.

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

28 Then they will call me, but I won't answer; they will search for me, but won't 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 Because they hated knowledge, didn't choose to fear the Lord,

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

30 were not interested in my counsel, and rejected all my correction,

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

31 they will eat the fruit of their way and be glutted with their own schemes.

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

32 For the waywardness of the inexperienced will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

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

33 But whoever listens to me will live securely and be free from the fear of danger."

33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
