Proverbs 1:19-27
-
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
-
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
-
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
-
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
-
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
-
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
-
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
-
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
-
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
