Proverbs 1:29 in Context — Proverbs 1

27 Cuando viniere como una destrucción lo que teméis, y vuestra calamidad llegare como un torbellino; cuando sobre vosotros viniere tribulación y angustia.

28 Entonces me llamarán, y no responderé; buscarme han de mañana, y no me hallarán:

29 Por cuanto aborrecieron la sabiduría, y no escogieron el temor de Jehová,

30 Ni quisieron mi consejo, y menospreciaron toda reprensión mía:

31 Comerán pues del fruto de su camino, y se hartarán de sus consejos.
