At [the] top of noisy [places] she calls out at [the] entrances of [the] gates in the city sayings her she utters.
22 “Little ones, how long will you choose to be childish, and how long will the foolish desire what is harmful to themselves, and how long will the imprudent hate knowledge?
Until when? - O naive people will you love naivete and mockers mockery do they delight in? themselves and fools will they hate? knowledge.
23 Be converted by my correction. Lo, I will offer my spirit to you, and I will reveal my words to you.
You will turn back to rebuke my here! I will pour out to you spirit my let me declare words my you.
24 For I called, and you refused. I extended my hand, and there was no one who watched.
Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
25 You have despised all my counsels, and you have neglected my rebukes.
And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
26 Similarly, I will ridicule you at your demise, and I will mock you, when that which you feared shall overcome you.
Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.
27 When sudden calamity rushes upon you, and your demise advances like a tempest, when tribulation and anguish overcome you,
When comes (like devastation *Q(K)*) dread your and calamity your like a storm-wind it will arrive when comes on you trouble and distress.
28 then they will call to me, and I will not heed, they will arise in the morning, and not find me.
Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
29 For they held hatred for discipline, and they would not accept the fear of the Lord;
Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
30 they would not consent to my counsel, but they detracted from all of my corrections.
Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
31 Therefore, they shall eat the fruit of their way, and they shall have their fill of their own counsels.
So they may eat from [the] fruit of way their and from own schemes their they will be surfeited.
32 The loathing of the little ones shall destroy them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall perish them.
For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
33 But whoever will listen to me shall rest without terror, and shall have full enjoyment of abundance, without fear of evils.”
And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
