28 (A)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
    they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they (B)hated knowledge
    and (C)did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (D)would have none of my counsel
    and (E)despised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat (F)the fruit of their way,
    and have (G)their fill of their own devices.
32 For the simple are killed by (H)their turning away,
    and (I)the complacency of fools destroys them;
33 but (J)whoever listens to me will dwell secure
    and will be (K)at ease, without dread of disaster.”
