Proverbs 1:24-31

Leeser(i) 24 Whereas I called, and ye refused; I stretched out my hand, and no man was attentive; 25 And ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would not accept my admonition: 26 Therefore I also will truly laugh at your calamity; I will deride you when your terror cometh; 27 When your terror cometh like the tempest-cloud, and your calamity hasteneth like a whirlwind; when there come upon you distress and affliction. 28 Then will they call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me; 29 For the reason that they hated knowledge, and the fear of the Lord they did not choose; 30 That they would not attend to my counsel: that they rejected all my admonition. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and from their own counsels shall they be satisfied.
