Proverbs
Chapters 1:20-26
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
20Listen! Wisdom is shouting in the streets. She is crying out in the marketplace.
21She is calling out where the noisy crowd gathers:
22“Fools, how long will you love being ignorant? How long will you make fun of wisdom? How long will you hate knowledge?
23I wanted to tell you everything I knew and give you all my knowledge, but you didn’t listen to my advice and teaching.
24“I tried to help, but you refused to listen. I offered my hand, but you turned away from me.
25You ignored my advice and refused to be corrected.
26So I will laugh at your troubles and make fun of you when what you fear happens.
