Wisdom calls aloud in the st...Wisdom's Warning<br /><br />Wisdom calls aloud in the street,<br />she raises her voice in the public squares;<br />at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,<br />in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:<br /><br />How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?<br />How long will mockers delight in mockery<br />and fools hate knowledge?<br /><br />If you had responded to my rebuke,<br />I would have poured out my heart to you<br />and made my thoughts known to you.<br /><br />But since you rejected me when I called<br />and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand,<br />since you ignored all my advice<br />and would not accept my rebuke,<br />I will in turn laugh at your disaster;<br />I will mock when calamity overtakes you,<br />when calamity overtakes you like a storm,<br />when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,<br />when distress and trouble overwhelm you.<br /><br />Then they will call to me but I will not answer;<br />they will look for me but will not find me.<br /><br />Since they hated knowledge<br />and did not fear the Lord,<br />since they would not accept my advice<br />and spurned my rebuke,<br />they will eat the fruit of their ways<br />and be filled with the of their schemes.<br /><br />For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,<br />and the complacency of fools will destroy them.RickBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683353099326538109noreply@blogger.com
