28  Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;

they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

29  Because they hated knowledge

and did not choose the fear of the Lord,

30  would have none of my ^hcounsel

and ⁱdespised all my reproof,

31  therefore they shall ^jeat the fruit of their way,

and have their fill of their own devices.

32  For the ^ksimple are killed by their turning away,

and the complacency of fools destroys them;

33  but whoever listens to me will dwell secure

and will be at ease, ^lwithout dread of disaster.”
