Proverbs 1:24-31
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 Because I have called and you refused,
have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,(A)
25 and because you have ignored all my counsel
and would have none of my reproof,(B)
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when panic strikes you,(C)
27 when panic strikes you like a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.(D)
29 Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 would have none of my counsel
and despised all my reproof,(E)
31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way
and be sated with their own devices.(F)
Proverbs 1:24-31
New International Version
24 But since you refuse(A) to listen when I call(B)
and no one pays attention(C) 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(D) when disaster(E) strikes you;
I will mock(F) when calamity overtakes you(G)—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster(H) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;(I)
they will look for me but will not find me,(J)
29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.(K)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,(L)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.(M)
