Proverbs 1:24 in context

Proverbs 1:21–27

21

She calls at the head of noisy places.

At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

22

“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?

How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery,

and fools hate knowledge?

23

Turn at my reproof.

Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you.

I will make known my words to you.

24
Selected verse

Because I have called, and you have refused;

I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

25

but you have ignored all my counsel,

and wanted none of my reproof;

26

I also will laugh at your disaster.

I will mock when calamity overtakes you,

27

when calamity overtakes you like a storm,

when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind,

when distress and anguish come on you.
