Proverbs 1:22-24

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²² How long, O simple ones [open to evil], will you love being simple? And the scoffers delight in scoffing and [self-confident] fools hate knowledge?

²³ If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I [^[a]Wisdom] will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you.^(A)

²⁴ Because I have called and you have refused [to answer], have stretched out my hand and no man has heeded it,^(B)
