Proverbs 1:20-33. Let wisdom and knowledge protects you.
Proverbs 1:20-33
[20]Listen! Wisdom is calling out in the streets and market places,
[21]calling loudly at the city gates and wherever people come together:
[22]“Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will you enjoy pouring scorn on knowledge? Will you never learn?
[23]Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.
[24]I have been calling you, inviting you to come, but you would not listen. You paid no attention to me.
[25]You have ignored all my advice and have not been willing to let me correct you.
[26]So when you get into trouble, I will laugh at you. I will mock you when terror strikes —
[27]when it comes on you like a storm, bringing fierce winds of trouble, and you are in pain and misery.
[28]Then you will call for wisdom, but I will not answer. You may look for me everywhere, but you will not find me.
[29]You have never had any use for knowledge and have always refused to obey the Lord.
[30]You have never wanted my advice or paid any attention when I corrected you.
[31]So then, you will get what you deserve, and your own actions will make you sick.
[32]Inexperienced people die because they reject wisdom. Stupid people are destroyed by their own lack of concern.
[33]But whoever listens to me will have security. He will be safe, with no reason to be afraid.”
