Proverbs 1:28-33
New King James Version
28 “Then(A) they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they (B)hated knowledge
And did not (C)choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (D)They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore (E)they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the [a]turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell (F)safely,
And (G)will be [b]secure, without fear of evil.”

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;(A)
they will look for me but will not find me,(B)
29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.(C)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,(D)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.(E)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;(F)
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety(G)
and be at ease, without fear of harm.”(H)
