Proverbs 1:24-32
New King James Version
Proverbs 1:24-32
New King James Version
24 (A)Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you (B)disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
26 (C)I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When (D)your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “Then(E) they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they (F)hated knowledge
And did not (G)choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (H)They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore (I)they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the [a]turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;

New International Version
Proverbs 1:24-32
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)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;(N)
