And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn at my rebuke; surely I will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you. 24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand, yet no one paid attention; 25 But you have disregarded all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke; 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes; 27 When your fear comes like desolation, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; 29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD; 30 They would have none of my counsel and despised all my rebuke. 31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them, and the prosperity of fools will destroy them. 33 But whoever listens to me will live safely, and will be at ease from fear of evil.
• Prov 27:1-28:28 : 1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. 2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. 3 A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's anger is heavier than both. 4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous, but who can stand before envy? 5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 7 The full soul loathes honeycomb, but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. 8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his place. 9 Ointment and perfume make the heart rejoice; so does the sweetness of a man's friend through earnest counsel. 10 Do not forsake your own friend, nor your father's friend, and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your calamity; better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may have an answer for him who reproaches me. 12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. 13 Take his garment when he is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for a foreign woman. 14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted as a curse to him. 15 A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. 16 Whoever hides her hides the wind, and the ointment of his right hand reveals itself. 17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. 18 Whoever keeps the fig tree shall eat its fruit; so he who waits on his master shall be honored. 19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man mirrors man. 20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. 21 As the refining pot tests silver, and the furnace tests gold, so a man is tested by his praise. 22 Though you pound a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet his foolishness will not depart from him. 23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds. 24 For riches are not forever; does a crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appears, and the tender grass shows itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And you will have goats' milk enough for your food, for the food of your household, and for the sustenance of your maidens. 1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2 For the transgression of a land, many are its princes; but by a person of understanding and knowledge, its state will be prolonged. 3 A poor man who oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food. 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them. 5 Evil people do not understand judgment, but those who seek the LORD understand all things. 6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son, but he who is a companion of riotous men shames his father. 8 He who by usury and unjust gain increases his wealth gathers it for one who will pity the poor. 9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. 10 Whoever causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the upright shall have good things in possession. 11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes, but the poor who has understanding searches him out. 12 When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, a man hides himself. 13 He who covers his sins shall not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. 14 Happy is the man who always fears, but he who hardens his heart will fall into mischief. 15 As a roaring lion and a raging bear, so is a wicked ruler over poor people. 16 The prince who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness shall prolong his days. 17 A person who does violence to the blood of anyone shall flee to the pit; let no one stop him. 18 Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved, but he who is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. 19 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who follows vain persons shall have poverty enough. 20 A faithful person shall abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich shall not be innocent. 21 To show partiality is not good; for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye and does not consider that poverty shall come upon him. 23 He who rebukes a man afterward shall find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue. 24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, It is no transgression, is a companion of a destroyer. 25 He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he who puts his trust in the LORD shall be made prosperous. 26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely shall be delivered. 27 He who gives to the poor shall not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses. 28 When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
