King James Version

What Does Proverbs 1:25 Mean?

“But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:”

Context

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

When your fear cometh as desolation , and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
