Proverbs 1:29 in Context — Proverbs 1
27 Quando vier vosso temor como tempestade, e a causa de vosso sofrimento como ventania, quando vier sobre vós a opressão e a angústia,
28 Então clamarão a mim; porém eu não responderei; de madrugada me buscarão, porém não me acharão.
29 Porque odiaram o conhecimento; e escolheram não temer ao SENHOR.
30 Não concordaram com meu conselho, [e] desprezaram toda a minha repreensão.
31 Por isso comerão do fruto do seu [próprio] caminho, e se fartarão de seus [próprios] conselhos.
