Proverbs 1:30

³⁰They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

³⁰They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

³⁰They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.

³⁰They're not willing to accept my advice; they despise all my warnings.

¹¹But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

²⁵but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;

¹⁸They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’

¹⁹“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’

²⁰“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’

¹⁷³Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.

⁹The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?

¹¹¹I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
