Amplified Bible
Proverbs 1:28-33
Amplified Bible
28
“Then they will call upon me (Wisdom), but I will not answer;
They will seek me eagerly but they will not find me,(A)
29
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord [that is, obeying Him with reverence and awe-filled respect],(B)
30
They would not accept my counsel,
And they spurned all my rebuke.
31
“Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own [wicked] way
And be satiated with [the penalty of] their own devices.
32
“For the turning away of the [a]naive will kill them,
And the careless ease of [self-righteous] fools will destroy them.(C)
33
“But whoever listens to me (Wisdom) will live securely and in confident trust
And will be at ease, without fear or dread of evil.”

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;(A)
they will look for me but will not find me,(B)
29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.(C)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,(D)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.(E)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;(F)
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety(G)
and be at ease, without fear of harm.”(H)
