Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Verse 24 is found in chapter 1 of Proverbs. Wisdom appears personified as a woman crying out publicly in the streets, squares, and city gates. Her invitation contrasts with the private seduction of sinners: God openly offers knowledge and correction, but deliberate rejection hardens the listener. The passage presents a decisive moral consequence: the fool’s calamity is not portrayed as chance, but as the result of repeatedly despising wisdom.

Weil ich denn rufe, und ihr weigert euch, ich recke meine Hand aus, und niemand achtet darauf,
Por cuanto llamé, y no quisisteis: Extendí mi mano, y no hubo quien escuchase;
Puisque j'appelle et que vous résistez, Puisque j'étends ma main et que personne n'y prend garde,
Perciocchè io ho gridato, e voi avete ricusato di ascoltare; Io ho distesa la mano, e niuno ha porto attenzione;
Entretanto, porque eu clamei e recusastes; e estendi a minha mão e não houve quem desse atenção,
因為我呼喚,你們不聽, 我招手,無人理會。
