Literal Version

1:20 Accepting or rejecting wisdom

20Wisdom calls out loudly on the street

she makes her voice known in the plazas.[ref]

21She calls out from above the busy streets.

She tells her sayings at the meeting place at the city gates.

22How much longer will naive people love their naivety,

and mockers enjoy their mockery,

and stupid people despise knowledge?

23Change your ways when I correct you.

Listen, I’ll pour my spirit out on you all.

Let me declare my messages to you all

24because I’ve called and you’ve all refused to listen.

I held out my hand but no one paid any attention

25and you all ignored all my advice

and took no notice when I corrected you.

26So I’ll laugh when calamity hits you all

and I’ll ridicule you when you’re all terrified

27when panic strikes you all like a storm

and calamity comes like a whirlwind

and when trouble and anguish reach you all.

28Then they’ll call out to me for help but I won’t answer.

They’ll search for me but won’t be able to find me

29because they hated wisdom

and didn’t choose to respect and obey Yahweh.

30They didn’t listen to my advice.

They didn’t want to hear whenever I corrected them,

31so they’ll eat the fruit of their own chosen path

and they’ll be filled with their own schemes.

32Naive people will get killed as a result of their own turning away,

and the fools’ own complacency will destroy them.

33However, those who listen to me will have secure lives

and be able to relax without worrying about troubles coming.

22Until when Oh_naive_people will_you_all_love naiveté and_scoffers mockery do_they_delight_in to/for_them and_fools will_they_hate knowledge.
23You_all_will_turn_back to_reproof_my here I_will_pour_forth to/for_you_all my_breath/wind/spirit let_me_declare words_of_my DOM_you_all.
24Because I_called and_refused I_stretched_out hand_of_my and_no one_who_paid_attention.
25And_ignored all_of counsel_of_my and_reproof_my not you_all_yielded_to.
26Also I in/on/at/with_calamity_of_your_all’s I_will_laugh I_will_mock in/on/at/with_strikes terror_of_you_all.

28Then call_me and_not I_will_answer seek_diligently_me and_not find_me.
29Because if/because they_hated knowledge and_fear_of YHWH not they_chose.
30Not they_yielded of_counsel_of_my they_spurned all_of reproof_my.
31And_eat from_the_fruit way_of_their and_with_schemes_of_their_own they_will_be_surfeited.
32If/because the_turning_away_of naive_people kill_them and_complacency_of fools destroy_them.
33And_listens to_me he_will_dwell security and_be_at_ease without_dread_of trouble.
