22 Until when? - O naive people will you love naivete and mockers mockery do they delight in? themselves and fools will they hate? knowledge.
Hlangyoe nang loh mevaeng hil nim hlangyoe na lungnah ve, hmuiyoi rhoek tah amamih kah saipaat dongah naep uh tih, aka ang rhoek loh mingnah te a hmuhuet uh.
23 You will turn back to rebuke my here! I will pour out to you spirit my let me declare words my you.
Ka toelthamnah he mael thil lah, ka mueihla he nang hamla kan thaa saeh lamtah ka ol he khaw nang kam ming sak eh.
24 Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
Kang khue vaengah na aal uh tih ka kut kan cavaih vaengah nim te hnatung uh pawh.
25 And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
Kai kah cilsuep boeih te na dul uh tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw na ngaih uh pawh.
26 Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.

27 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.
Nangmih kah birhihnah tah khohli rhamrhael bangla ha pawk vetih na rhainah loh cangpalam bangla halo vaengah, citcai neh khobing loh nangmih te m'paan vaengah,
28 Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
Kai ng'khue uh cakhaw ka doo mahpawh, kai n'toem uh cakhaw m'hmu uh bal mahpawh.
29 Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
Te yueng te mingnah a hmuhuet uh tih BOEIPA kah hinyahnah te tuek uh pawh.
30 Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
Kai cilsuep dongah naep uh pawt tih, kai kah toelthamnah khaw boeih a tlaitlaek uh.

32 For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
Hlangyoe hnuknong loh amih te a ngawn vetih aka ang kah ommongnah loh amih te a milh sak ni.
33 And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
Tedae kai taengah aka hnatun long tah ngaikhuek la kho a sak vetih yoethae kah birhihnah khuiah khaw rhalthal van ni.
