Proverbs 1:22-24

World English Bible

²² “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery,
    and fools hate knowledge?
²³ Turn at my reproof.
    Behold,^[a] I will pour out my spirit on you.
    I will make known my words to you.
²⁴ Because I have called, and you have refused;
    I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
