Proverbs 1:27-33 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

27. When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

28. "Then they will call on 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 not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof.

31. "So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices.

32. "For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

33. "But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil."
