Proverbs 1:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?

23 If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.

24 Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,

25 because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,

26 in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,
