22 So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs. “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
23 Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech. If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.
24 Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed; Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25 but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs; because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,
26 therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27 yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you. when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28 For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me . Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,
29 For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord: Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.
30 neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs. would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31 Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness. therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
32 For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil. but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.” but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
