They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Verse 30 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.

wollten meinen Rat nicht und lästerten alle meine Strafe:
Ni quisieron mi consejo, Y menospreciaron toda reprensión mía:
no quisieron mis consejos y despreciaron toda mi corrección,
Parce qu'ils n'ont point aimé mes conseils, Et qu'ils ont dédaigné toutes mes réprimandes,
E non hanno gradito il mio consiglio, Ed hanno disdegnata ogni mia correzione.
Não aceitaram o meu conselho, e desprezaram toda a minha repreensão.
不聽我的勸戒, 藐視我一切的責備,
