Proverbs 1:29 Context
27When your feare commeth as desolation, and your destruction commeth as a whirlewinde; when distresse and anguish commeth vpon you: 28Then shall they call vpon mee, but I will not answere; they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me: 29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the feare of the Lord. 30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproofe. 31Therefore shall they eate of the fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuices.
