Proverbs 1:28-30

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
    they will seek me diligently, but will not find me.
²⁹ Because they hated knowledge
    and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
³⁰ would have none of my counsel,
    and despised all my reproof,
