Proverbs 1:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
    and fools hate knowledge?
²³ Give heed^[a] to my reproof;
behold, I will pour out my thoughts^[b] to you;
    I will make my words known to you.
²⁴ Because I have called and you refused to listen,
    have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
