Proverbs 1:22-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

22. “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?For the scorners delight in their scorning,and fools hate knowledge.

23. Turn at my reproof;surely I will pour out my spirit on you;I will make my words known to you.

24. Because I have called and you refused,I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded,

25. because you neglected all my counsel,and would have none of my reproof,

26. I also will laugh at your calamity;I will mock when your fear comes,

27. when your fear comes as desolationand your destruction comes as a whirlwind,when distress and anguish come upon you.
