lesserot Proverbs:1:24-33 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Whereas I called ,
and ye refused ;
I stretched out my hand ,
and no man was attentive ;
*
And ye have set at nought all my counsel ,
and would not accept my admonition :
*
I also will truly laugh at your calamity ;
I will deride when your terror cometh ;
*
When your terror cometh like the tempest
cloud ,
and your calamity hasteneth like a whirlwind ;
when there come upon you distress and affliction .
*
Then will they call me ,
but I will not answer ;
they will seek me earnestly ,
but they shall not find me ;
*
For the reason that they hated knowledge ,
and the fear of the Lord they did not choose ;
*
they would not attend to my counsel :
they rejected all my admonition .
*
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way ,
and from their own counsels shall they be satisfied .
*
For the defection of the simple will slay them ,
and the prosperity of fools will cause them to be lost .
*
But he that hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely ,
and shall be at rest from the dread of evil .
