But you refuse to listen when I call out to you. No one pays attention when I reach out my hand.You turn away from all my advice. And you do not accept my warning.So I will laugh at you when you are in danger. I will make fun of you when hard times come.I will laugh when hard times hit you like a storm. I will laugh when danger comes your way like a windstorm. I will make fun of you when suffering and trouble come.“ Then you will call to me. But I won’t answer. You will look for me. But you won’t find me.You hated knowledge. You didn’t choose to have respect for the Lord.You wouldn’t accept my advice. You turned your backs on my warnings.So you will eat the fruit of the way you have lived. You will choke on the fruit of what you have planned.“ The wrong path that childish people take will kill them. Foolish people will be destroyed by being satisfied with the way they live.But those who listen to me will live in safety. They will be at ease and have no fear of being harmed.”

Don’t just listen to the word. You fool yourselves if you do that. You must do what it says.

“ So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash.”

‘ I warn and correct those I love. So be sincere, and turn away from your sins.

If you really want to gain knowledge, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. But foolish people hate wisdom and instruction.

Whoever still won’t obey after being warned many times will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save them.

A person who has no sense enjoys doing foolish things. But a person who has understanding walks straight ahead.

A heart that understands what is right looks for knowledge. But the mouths of foolish people feed on what is foolish.

They will say to the elders,“ This son of ours is very stubborn. He won’t obey us. He eats too much. He’s always getting drunk.”

At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.You will say,“ How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!I would not obey my teachers. I wouldn’t listen to those who taught me.

Those whose hearts understand what is right get knowledge. That’s because the ears of those who are wise listen for it.

Suppose someone has a very stubborn son. He doesn’t obey his father and mother. And he won’t listen to them when they try to correct him.

“ Jerusalem, you are really impure. I tried to clean you up. But you would not let me make you pure. So you will not be clean again until I am no longer so angry with you.“ I have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back. I will not feel sorry for you. I will do what I said I would do. You will be judged for your conduct and actions. I am the Lord,” announces the Lord and King.

Listen to my teaching and be wise. Don’t turn away from it.Blessed are those who listen to me. They watch every day at my doors. They wait beside my doorway.Those who find me find life. They receive blessing from the Lord.But those who don’t find me harm only themselves. Everyone who hates me loves death.”

Why should a foolish person try to buy wisdom? They are not even able to understand it.

You hate my teaching. You turn your back on what I say.

Israel, why do you want to be beaten all the time? Why do you always refuse to obey the Lord? Your head is covered with wounds. Your whole heart is weak.

Lord, don’t your eyes look for truth? You struck down your people. But they didn’t feel any pain. You crushed them. But they refused to be corrected. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to turn away from their sins.

Be sure that no one misses out on God’s grace. See to it that a bitter plant doesn’t grow up. If it does, it will cause trouble. And it will make many people impure.
