"Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the LORD,"
— Proverbs 1:29, NET Bible
“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:”
“For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah, ”
“because they hated knowledge, and didn't choose the fear of Yahweh.”
“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:”
so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you, I will mock when what you dread comes,
when what you dread comes like a whirlwind, and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm, when distressing trouble comes on you.
Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.
Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the LORD,
they did not comply with my advice, they spurned all my rebuke.
Therefore they will eat from the fruit of their way, and they will be stuffed full of their own counsel.
For the waywardness of the simpletons will kill them, and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.
