Contextual Overview

²⁰Wisdom shouts in the street,She gives forth her voice in the square; ²¹At the head of the noisy streets she calls out;At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: ²²"How long, O simple ones, will you love simplicity?And scoffers delight in scoffingAnd fools hate knowledge? ²³Turn to my reproof,Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;I will make my words known to you. ²⁴Because I called and you refused,I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention; ²⁵And you neglected all my counselAnd were not willing to accept my reproof; ²⁶I will also laugh at your disaster;I will mock when your dread comes, ²⁷When your dread comes like a stormAnd your disaster comes like a whirlwind,When distress and anguish come upon you. ²⁸Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;They will seek me earnestly but they will not find me, ²⁹Because they hated knowledgeAnd did not choose the fear of Yahweh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They would none of my counsel,.... Neither his doctrines nor his ordinances; nor would they attend to the wholesome counsel and advice he gave them in his sermons upon the mount, and in other discourses of his at other times and places;

they despised all my reproof; for their hypocrisy, uncleanness, covetousness, and other sins they were addicted to; see Matthew 23:1; but they "derided" him for it, Luke 16:14; where the same word is used as is by the Septuagint here. These things are repeated from Proverbs 1:25, to observe their ingratitude, and how just was their ruin, and what the true cause of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This is no arbitrary sentence. The fault was all along their own. The fruit of their own ways is death.
