Proverbs 1:22-24

Lexham English Bible

²² “How long,^[a] 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!^[b]
    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.
