Proverbs 1:30

would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof,

because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,

"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.

Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.

The wise men shall be put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD, so what wisdom is in them?

But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.'
