Proverbs 1:22-25

New King James Version

²² “How long, you ^[a]simple ones, will you love ^[b]simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge.
²³ Turn at my rebuke;
Surely ^(A)I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
^24 (B)Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
²⁵ Because you ^(C)disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
