nkjv - Proverbs:1:20-33

nkjv@Proverbs:1:20 @ Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:21 @ She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words:

nkjv@Proverbs:1:22 @ "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:23 @ Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:24 @ Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,

nkjv@Proverbs:1:25 @ Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke,

nkjv@Proverbs:1:26 @ I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes,

nkjv@Proverbs:1:27 @ When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:28 @ "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:29 @ Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD,

nkjv@Proverbs:1:30 @ They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:31 @ Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies.

nkjv@Proverbs:1:32 @ For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;

nkjv@Proverbs:1:33 @ But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."
