Text -- Proverbs 1:15-33 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
1:15 My child , do not go down their way , withhold yourself from their path ;
1:16 for they are eager to inflict harm , and they hasten to shed blood .
1:17 Surely it is futile to spread a net in plain sight of any bird ,
1:18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood , they ambush their own lives !
1:19 Such are the ways of all who gain profit unjustly ; it takes away the life of those who obtain it!
Warning Against Disregarding Wisdom
1:20 Wisdom calls out in the street , she shouts loudly in the plazas ;
1:21 at the head of the noisy streets she calls , in the entrances of the gates in the city she utters her words :
1:22 “How long will you simpletons love naiveté ? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge ?
1:23 If only you will respond to my rebuke , then I will pour out my thoughts to you and I will make my words known to you.
1:24 However, because I called but you refused to listen, because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention ,
1:25 because you neglected all my advice , and did not comply with my rebuke ,
1:26 so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you, I will mock when what you dread comes ,
1:27 when what you dread comes like a whirlwind , and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm , when distressing trouble comes on you.
1:28 Then they will call to me, but I will not answer ; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.
1:29 Because they hated moral knowledge , and did not choose to fear the Lord ,
1:30 they did not comply with my advice , they spurned all my rebuke .
1:31 Therefore they will eat from the fruit of their way , and they will be stuffed full of their own counsel .
1:32 For the waywardness of the simpletons will kill them, and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.
1:33 But the one who listens to me will live in security , and will be at ease from the dread of harm .
