King James Version with Apocrypha
"Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;"
— Proverbs 1:24, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;”
“Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded; ”
“Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;”
“However, because I called but you refused to listen, because I stretched out my hand but no one was paying attention,”
“Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded.”
“Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;”
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
