kjv Proverbs:1:20-30 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Wisdom crieth without ;
she uttereth her voice in the streets :
*
She crieth in the chief place of concourse ,
in the openings of the gates :
in the city she uttereth her words ,
saying ,
*
How long ,
ye simple ones ,
will ye love simplicity ?
and the scorners delight in their scorning ,
and fools hate knowledge ?
*
Turn you at my reproof :
behold ,
I will pour out my spirit unto you ,
I will make known my words unto you .
*
Because I have called ,
and ye refused ;
I have stretched out my hand ,
and no man regarded ;
*
But ye have set at nought all my counsel ,
and would none of my reproof :
*
I also will laugh at your calamity ;
I will mock when your fear cometh ;
*
When your fear cometh as desolation ,
and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind ;
when distress and anguish cometh upon you .
*
Then shall they call upon me ,
but I will not answer ;
they shall seek me early ,
but they shall not find me :
*
For that they hated knowledge ,
and did not choose the fear of the LORD :
*
They would none of my counsel :
they despised all my reproof .
