Proverbs 1:29-33

World English Bible

²⁹ because they hated knowledge,
    and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.
³⁰ They wanted none of my counsel.
    They despised all my reproof.
³¹ Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way,
    and be filled with their own schemes.
³² For the backsliding of the simple will kill them.
    The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
³³ But whoever listens to me will dwell securely,
    and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
