Proverbs 1:30

They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;

But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

I have taken your testimonies as a 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 are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what kind of wisdom is in them?

They all as one began to make excuses. "The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.'
