Proverbs 1:21-25

At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she declares her sayings:

“How long, you naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking? And how long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?

“Turn to my rebuke, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.

“Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

And you neglected all my advice And did not want my rebuke;
