because you neglected all my advice and did not want my correction,

"Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD;

they did not want my advice, and they rejected all my correction.

I did not obey my teachers and did not listen to my instructors.

If you say, "Look here, we didn't know about this," doesn't God, who examines motives, discern it? Doesn't the one who guards your soul know about it? Won't he repay each person according to what he has done?

Don't say, "I'll do to him like he did to me, I'll be sure to pay him back for what he did."
