Turn you at my reproof:

"How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." (Proverbs 1:22, 23 KJV) There are two questions in this one verse. One question reads: How long will many fools love their simplicity?  To have a love for self gain among the foolish things of this world is to be foolish. Wisdom cries in the gates of the city, and in modern days, from the church house . However, the simple refuse to hear the truth, and they would rather fill themselves with the foolish things of this world. The scorners take delight in mocking, for they hate knowledge and everything about it. With words of eloquence, they use their mouths to bring others to their simplicity, and they disrupt the voice of wisdom. Wisdom will never stop pleading and speaking up. She says to the simple, "Turn you at my reproof (turn to my correction) and I will pour out my spirit unto you". What a promise the Lord gives to us all. God invites all to taste and see how good He is. So, let us not forsake Wisdom. Give God praise.
