Proverbs 1:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
    and fools hate knowledge?^(A)
23 Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
    I will make my words known to you.^(B)
24 Because I have called and you refused,
    have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,^(C)
