Because I have called, and you have refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
Because I have called, and you have refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
Proverbs 1:21–27
She calls at the head of noisy places.
At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery,
and fools hate knowledge?
Turn at my reproof.
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you.
I will make known my words to you.
Because I have called, and you have refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
but you have ignored all my counsel,
and wanted none of my reproof;
I also will laugh at your disaster.
I will mock when calamity overtakes you,
when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come on you.
