Proverbs
Chapters 1:24-30
New International Version Anglicized
24But since you refuse to listen when I calland no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25since you disregard all my adviceand do not accept my rebuke,
26I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;I will mock when calamity overtakes you –
27when 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 to me but I will not answer;they will look for me but will not find me,
29since they hated knowledgeand did not choose to fear the Lord.
30Since they would not accept my adviceand spurned my rebuke,
