They will look for me but will not find me, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord

Proverb 1:20-33

Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you I will make known to you my teachings. But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebukeI in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;  I will mock when calamity overtakes you— when calamity overtakes you like a storm,  when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,  when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LordSince they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

Why?

Simple men and fools refuse to listen to words of wisdom, refuse to fear the Lord, and do not rust in the word of the Lord. So disaster comes out of their mind suddenly.

Everyone has to face the consequences of their decision, to be a man of wisdom or a man of fool. To be a man of fear the Lord or a man does not accept God's rebuke.

How?
Don't be a foolish man, but fear the Lord, Even if it is hard but has peace and safety in our life.
