Thematic Bible
The lord seeking that which was lost » Who shall not find wisdom when they seek it
Wisdom calls you! She raises her voice in the streets and marketplaces. She calls in the streets, in the opening of the gates: in the city she utters her words.

Listen when I reprove you. I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make my words known to you. I called you! I stretched out my hand to you. You paid no attention to me. You have ignored all my counsel. You accept no correction. I also will laugh at your trouble. I will mock when your fear comes. Trouble and distress will surround you like a whirlwind, like a great storm. You will ask for my help, but I will not listen. You will search, but you will not find me. You have no use for knowledge and you refuse to respect Jehovah.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it. Knowledge is easy to him who discerns.
