Proverbs 1:24-31

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 24 Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man attended, 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof; 26 I also, in your calamity, will laugh, I will mock when your dread cometh; 27 When your dread cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when trouble and distress come upon you. 28 Then will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me. 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD; 30 They would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
