Proverbs 1:20-33 (Wisdom)

Prov 1:20 ¶ Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square;
Prov 1:21 At the head of the noisy {streets} she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
Prov 1:22 "How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?
Prov 1:23 "Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
Prov 1:24 "Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
Prov 1:25 And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof;
Prov 1:26 I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes,
Prov 1:27 When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
Prov 1:28 "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Prov 1:29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD.
Prov 1:30 "They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof.
Prov 1:31 "So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices.
Prov 1:32 "For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
Prov 1:33 "But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil."
