Proverbs:1:24-33

Seeker Overlay ON

* "Because I have called , and ye have refused ,––Because I have stretched out my hand , and no one hath regarded . * Because ye have rejected all my counsel , And have slighted my rebuke ,–– * I also will laugh at your calamity , I will mock when your fear cometh ; * When your fear cometh upon you like a storm . And destruction overtaketh you like a whirlwind , When distress and anguish come upon you . * Then will they call upon me , but I will not answer ! They will seek me early , But they shall not find me ! * Because they have hated knowledge , And have not chosen the fear of the LORD ,–– * Because they would not attend to my counsel , And have despised all my reproof ,–– * Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way , And be filled to the full with their own devices ; * Yea , the turning away of the simple shall slay them , And the carelessness of fools shall destroy them . * But whoso hearkeneth to me shall dwell securely , And shall not be disquieted with the fear of evil ."
