Proverbs 1:28-33 NKJV


Proverbs 1:28-33 "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.

Because they hated knowledge And did not chose the fear of the LORD,

They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.

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

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

But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."

Job 21:1-16 Then Job answered and said;

"Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your consolation.

Bear with me that I may speak, And after I have spoken, keep mocking.

"As for me, is my complaint against man? And if it were, why should I not be impatient?

Look at me and be astonished; Put your hand over your mouth.

Even when I remember I am terrified, And trembling takes hold of my flesh.

Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power?

Their descendants are established  with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.

Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.

Their bull breeds without failure; Their cow calves without miscarriage.

They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.

They sing to the tambourine and harp, And rejoice to the sound of the flute.

They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.

Yet they say to God, 'Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?'

Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Proverbs 1:20-27 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.

She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words:

"How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known in you.

Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,

Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke,

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes.

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

Psalm 81:8-16 "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me!

There shall be no foreign God among you, Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me.

So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.

Oh, that's people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries.

The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him, But their fate would endure forever.

He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you."

Psalm 112:1-10 PRAISE the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments.

His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.

Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is graciously, and full of compassion, and righteous.

A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion.

Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor;

The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
