20:001:028 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they
shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
20:001:029 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of
the LORD:
20:001:030 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
20:001:031 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be
filled with their own devices.
20:001:032 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the
prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
20:001:033 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be
quiet from fear of evil.
20:002:001 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my
commandments with thee;
20:002:002 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine
heart to understanding;
20:002:003 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice
for understanding;
20:002:004 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for
hid treasures;
