Proverbs 1:28-33 Common English Bible (CEB)

28. Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;they will seek me, but won’t find me

29. because they hated knowledgeand didn’t choose the fear of the Lord.

30. They didn’t want my advice;they rejected all my corrections.

31. They will eat from the fruit of their way,and they’ll be full of their own schemes.

32. The immature will die because they turn away;smugness will destroy fools.

33. Those who obey me will dwell securely,untroubled by the dread of harm."
