Proverbs 1:22-26
New International Version
22 “How long will you who are simple(A) love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate(B) knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse(C) to listen when I call(D)
and no one pays attention(E) when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh(F) when disaster(G) strikes you;
I will mock(H) when calamity overtakes you(I)—

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
