Proverbs 1:20-27
1:20
Wisdom calls aloud in the open air and raises her voice in the public places;
1:21
she calls out at streetcorners and speaks out at entrances to city gates:
1:22
“How long, you whose lives have no purpose, will you love thoughtless living? How long will scorners find pleasure in mocking? How long will fools hate knowledge?
1:23
Repent when I reprove -I will pour out my spirit to you, I will make my words known to you.
1:24
Because you refused when I called, and no one paid attention when I put out my hand,
1:25
but instead you neglected my counsel and would not accept my reproof;
1:26
I, in turn, will laugh at your distress, and mock when terror comes over you
1:27
yes, when terror overtakes you like a storm and your disaster approaches like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble assail you.
