"For they held hatred for discipline, and they would not accept the fear of the Lord; "
— Proverbs 1:29, Catholic Public Domain 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,”
“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:”
Similarly, I will ridicule you at your demise, and I will mock you, when that which you feared shall overcome you.
When sudden calamity rushes upon you, and your demise advances like a tempest, when tribulation and anguish overcome you,
then they will call to me, and I will not heed, they will arise in the morning, and not find me.
For they held hatred for discipline, and they would not accept the fear of the Lord;
they would not consent to my counsel, but they detracted from all of my corrections.
Therefore, they shall eat the fruit of their way, and they shall have their fill of their own counsels.
The loathing of the little ones shall destroy them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall perish them.
