Proverbs 1:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² “How long will you childish people love your childish ways?
    How long will you rude people enjoy making fun of God and others?
    How long will you foolish people hate knowledge?
²³ Pay attention to my warning!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you.
    I will make known to you my teachings.
²⁴ But you refuse to listen when I call out to you.
    No one pays attention when I reach out my hand.
