Wisdom Calls 20Listen! Wisdom is calling out in the streets and marketplaces,
21calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together:
22"Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will you enjoy making fun of knowledge? Will you never learn?
23Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.
24I have been calling you, inviting you to come, but you would not listen. You paid no attention to me.
25You have ignored all my advice and have not been willing to let me correct you.
26So when you get into trouble, I will laugh at you. I will make fun of you when terror strikes--
27when it comes on you like a storm, bringing fierce winds of trouble, and you are in pain and misery.
28Then you will call for wisdom, but I will not answer. You may look for me everywhere, but you will not find me.
29You have never had any use for knowledge and have always refused to obey the LORD.
30You have never wanted my advice or paid any attention when I corrected you.
31So then, you will get what you deserve, and your own actions will make you sick.
32Inexperienced people die because they reject wisdom. Stupid people are destroyed by their own lack of concern.
33But whoever listens to me will have security. He will be safe, with no reason to be afraid."
