Proverbs 1:21-33
Lexham English Bible
21 On a busy corner[a] she cries out,
at the entrances of the gates in the city, she speaks her sayings:
22 “How long,[b] O simple ones, will you love simplicity?
And how long will scoffers delight in their scoffing,
and fools hate knowledge?
23 May you turn to my argument![c]
Behold, I shall pour out my spirit upon you;
I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I called out and you refused me,
I stretched out my hand, yet there is none who heeds.
25 You have ignored all my counsel,
and my reproof you are not willing to accept.
26 I will also laugh at your calamity;[d]
I will mock when panic[e] comes upon you.
27 When your panic comes like a storm,
and your calamity arrives like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you,
28 then they will call[f] me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but not find me.
29 Since they hated knowledge,
and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,
30 they were not willing to accept my counsel,
they despised all my reproof.
31 They shall eat from the fruit of their way,
and they shall be sated from their own schemes,
32 for the waywardness of the simple ones will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33 Whoever listens to me will dwell in security
and rest securely[g] from dread and disaster.”

English Standard Version
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
at (A)the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 “How long, O (B)simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will (C)scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools (D)hate knowledge?
23 If you turn at my reproof,[a]
behold, I will (E)pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you.
24 (F)Because I have called and (G)you refused to listen,
have (H)stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have (I)ignored all my counsel
and (J)would have none of my reproof,
26 I also (K)will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when (L)terror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like (M)a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 (N)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they (O)hated knowledge
and (P)did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (Q)would have none of my counsel
and (R)despised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat (S)the fruit of their way,
and have (T)their fill of their own devices.
32 For the simple are killed by (U)their turning away,
and (V)the complacency of fools destroys them;
33 but (W)whoever listens to me will dwell secure
and will be (X)at ease, without dread of disaster.”
