Proverbs 1:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 1:27

25 Because you ^adisdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,

26 ^aI also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,

27 When ^ayour terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 “Then^a they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.

29 Because they ^ahated knowledge
And did not ^bchoose the fear of the Lord,

30 ^aThey would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.

31 Therefore ^athey shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.

32 For the¹ turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 But whoever listens to me will dwell ^asafely,
And ^bwill be secure, without fear of evil.”
