Proverbs 1:22-24

Common English Bible

²² “How long will you clueless people love your naïveté,
    mockers hold their mocking dear,
    and fools hate knowledge?
²³ You should respond when I correct you.
    Look, I’ll pour out my spirit on you.
    I’ll reveal my words to you.
²⁴ I invited you, but you rejected me;
    I stretched out my hand to you,
    but you paid no attention.
