Proverbs 1:24-31

EJ2000(i) 24 Because I have called and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one responded; 25 for because ye have disregarded all my counsel and rejected my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes upon you; 27 when what you have feared comes as destruction, and your calamity comes as a whirlwind; when tribulation and anguish come upon you. 28 Then they shall call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own counsel.
