American Standard Version
"For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah, "
— Proverbs 1:29, American Standard Version
“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:”
“because they hated knowledge, and didn't choose the fear of Yahweh.”
“Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the LORD,”
“Because they have hated instruction, and received not the fear of the Lord,”
“For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:”
“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:”
I also will laugh inthe day ofyour calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.
Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah,
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.
For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
