My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.
16 Na'ankure ame hu'za kumira nehu'za, vahera zamahe'za korana eri neragize.
For they rush to do evil; they hurry to commit violence and murder.

She cries out at busy corners; she explains her message at the town gates:
22 Antahiza omane vahe'motma nama'a zupa musena hutma antahizantmi omane vahera manigahaze? Kiza zokago kema knare antahizanku'ma nehzazana, taganetma omanigahafi?
“How long will you stupid people love stupidity? How long will scornful people enjoy their mocking? How long will fools hate knowledge?
23 Nagrama i'oma hugantoa kema amage'ma antesanke'na, nagu'a neramina, knare antahi'zani'a rempi huramigahue.
Pay attention to my warnings, and I'll pour out my deepest thoughts to you—I'll explain what I know to you.
24 Hianagi kema nehugenka antahi nonaminka, kagrite etragote'za nehugenka antahi nonamine.
For I have called you, but you refused to listen; I reached out my hand to you, but you didn't care.
25 Kavumro'ma negantogenka, keni'a nontahinka, osuo huazama nehanku,
You ignored everything I said; you wouldn't accept any of my warnings.
26 ana nona'a kagrite'ma esia hazenkegura, kagiza regahue. Tusi'a hazenke zamo kazeri kagateresige'na, Nagra kagiza regahue.
So I'll laugh at you when you're in trouble; I'll mock you when you're in a panic.
27 Zahoko'mo hiaza huno hazenke zamo'ma tamazeri agaterenkeno, hankro zaho'mo hiaza huno tinko'mo refitege, hazenke'zamo ene kore'zamo tmagritera egahie.
When panic rains down on you like a storm, when trouble hits you like a whirlwind, when sorrow and pain come on you,
28 Ana hanige'za zamagra zamazama hanugura kezatigahazanagi, nagra kenona huozamigahue. Zamagra nagrikura hakresnazanagi, onagegahaze.
then you'll call out to me for help, but I won't answer; you'll search hard for me, but won't find me.
29 Na'ankure zamagra antahi'zama erizankura zamesra hunente'za, Ra Anumzamofona kore hunte zamagesa ontahi'naze.
Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.
30 Nagrama zamavumro antoankea erinetre'za, zamazeri fatgo huankea amage onte'naze.
They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.
31 E'ina hu'negu zamagrama hu'nesaza zamuzmamofona raga'a nesageno, oku'ma hu'naku retroma hu'nesaza zamavu'zmavamofo nona'a havi miza erigahaze.
So they'll have to eat the fruit of their own choices, bloated by their own devious schemes.
32 Antahintahizmi omane vahe'mokizmia, neginagi zamavu'zmavamo zamahe nefrinkeno, knare hu'none hu'zama hanaza zamo, zamahe frigahie.
Stupid people are killed by their rebellion; foolish people are destroyed by their lack of concern.
33 Hianagi aza'o nagri kema antahisimo'a, hazenke e'ori knare huno nemanino, havizankura korora osu mani fru huno manigahie.
But everyone who listens to me will be kept safe, and will live without worrying about problems.”
