Proverbs 1:24-32

ECB(i) 24 Because I called and you refuse; I spread my hand and no one hearkens; 25 you loose all my counsel and will none of my reproof. 26 I laugh at your calamity; I deride when your dread comes 27 - when your dread comes as devastation and your calamity comes as a hurricane; when tribulation and distress come on you. 28 Then they call me, and I answer not; they seek me early, and they find me not; 29 because they hate knowledge and choose not the awe of Yah Veh; 30 they will not my counsel; they scorn all my reproof; 31 they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels: 32 for the apostasy of the gullible slaughters them and the serenity of fools destroys them.
