When they cry for help, I will not answer. Though they anxiously search for me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord…
But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.
Prov 1
Within these verses come a strict warning. If we would follow our own ways and devices not heeding God’s guidance and instructions there might come a time in our lives that He do not answer when we are in need.
Yet also within these verses we find that those that seek to listen and obey Him, need not fear as He is with them and will carry them through.
the choice is ours.
