Proverbs 1:22-25 New Century Version (NCV)

22. “You fools, how long will you be foolish?How long will you make fun of wisdomand hate knowledge?

23. If only you had listened when I corrected you,I would have told you what’s in my heart;I would have told you what I am thinking.

24. I called, but you refused to listen;I held out my hand, but you paid no attention.

25. You did not follow my adviceand did not listen when I corrected you.
