Proverbs 1:24-32

^{Tools
24}

“Because ^(A)I called and you ^(B)refused,
I ^(C)stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

^{Tools
25}

And you ^(D)neglected all my counsel
And did not ^(E)want my reproof;

^{Tools
26}

I will also ^(F)laugh at your ^(G)calamity;
I will mock when your ^(H)dread comes,

^{Tools
27}

When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a ^(I)whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.

^{Tools
28}

“Then they will ^(J)call on me, but I will not answer;
They will ^(K)seek me diligently but they will not find me,

^{Tools
29}

Because they ^(L)hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord.

^{Tools
30}

“They ^(M)would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.

^{Tools
31}

“So they shall ^(N)eat of the fruit of their own way
And be ^(O)satiated with their own devices.

^{Tools
32}

“For the ^(P)waywardness of the ^(a)naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
