Pro. 1:20-33
20 Listen! Wisdom is shouting in the streets. She is crying out in the marketplace.
21 She 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?
23 I 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.
25 You ignored my advice and refused to be corrected.
26 So I will laugh at your troubles and make fun of you when what you fear happens.
27 Disasters will strike you like a storm. Problems will pound you like a strong wind. Trouble and misery will weigh you down.
28 “Fools will call for me, but I will not answer. They will look for me, but they will not find me.
29 That is because they hated knowledge. They refused to fear and respect the Lord.
30 They ignored my advice and refused to be corrected.
31 They filled their lives with what they wanted. They went their own way, so they will get what they deserve.
32 “Fools die because they refuse to follow wisdom. They are content to follow their foolish ways, and that will destroy them.
33 But those who listen to me will live in safety and comfort. They will have nothing to fear.”
