American King James Version
" Then shall they call on me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: "
— Proverbs 1:28, American King James Version
“Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:”
But you have set at nothing all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes on you.
Then shall they call on me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
