Proverbs 1:21-26
New International Version
21 on top of the wall[a] she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:
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,
25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh(F) when disaster(G) strikes you;
I will mock(H) when calamity overtakes you(I)—

King James Version
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
