Proverbs 1:28-30

American Standard Version

²⁸ Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me ^[a]diligently, but they shall not find me:
²⁹ For that they hated knowledge,
And did not choose the fear of Jehovah,
³⁰ They would none of my counsel,
They despised all my reproof.
