22 'Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge? “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 Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you. 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 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending, 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 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired. 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 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh, 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 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress. 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 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not. 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 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen. 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 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled. 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 the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them. 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 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And is quiet from fear of 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.”
