Geneva(i)
22 O ye foolish, howe long will ye loue foolishnes? and the scornefull take their pleasure in scorning, and the fooles hate knowledge?
23 (Turne you at my correction: loe, I will powre out my mind vnto you, and make you vnderstand my wordes)
24 Because I haue called, and ye refused: I haue stretched out mine hand, and none woulde regarde.
25 But ye haue despised all my counsell, and would none of my correction.
26 I will also laugh at your destruction, and mocke, when your feare commeth.
27 Whe your feare cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shall come like a whirle wind: whe affliction and anguish shall come vpon you,
28 Then shall they call vpon me, but I will not answere: they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me,
29 Because they hated knowledge, and did not chuse the feare of the Lord.
30 They would none of my counsell, but despised all my correction.
31 Therefore shall they eate of ye fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuises.
32 For ease slaieth the foolish, and the prosperitie of fooles destroyeth them.
33 But he that obeyeth me, shall dwell safely, and be quiet from feare of euill.
