Proverbs 1:22-24
The Message
22-24 “Simpletons! How long will you wallow in ignorance?
Cynics! How long will you feed your cynicism?
Idiots! How long will you refuse to learn?
About face! I can revise your life.
Look, I’m ready to pour out my spirit on you;
I’m ready to tell you all I know.
As it is, I’ve called, but you’ve turned a deaf ear;
I’ve reached out to you, but you’ve ignored me.
Proverbs 1:22-24
New International Version
22 “How long will you who are simple(A) love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate(B) knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse(C) to listen when I call(D)
and no one pays attention(E) when I stretch out my hand,
