29 since they hated knowledge

and did not choose to fear the Lord.

30 Since they would not accept my advice

and spurned my rebuke,

29 For that they hated knowledge,

And did not choose the fear of the Lord:

30 They would none of my counsel:

They despised all my reproof.

29 For they hated knowledge

and chose not to fear the Lord.

30 They rejected my advice

and paid no attention when I corrected them.

29 Because they hated knowledge

And did not choose the fear of the Lord,

30 They would have none of my counsel

And despised my every rebuke.

29 It is because you rejected knowledge

and did not choose to respect the Lord.

30 You did not accept my advice,

and you rejected my correction.

29 For that they hated knowledge,

And did not choose the fear of Jehovah:

30 They would none of my counsel;

They despised all my reproof.

29 Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah; 30 they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:

29 because they hated knowledge 

and did not choose the fear of the Lord. 

30 They refused my advice. 

They despised my every warning. 

29 Because they hated knowledge,

didn’t choose to fear the Lord,

30 were not interested in my counsel,

and rejected all my correction,

29 Because they hated knowledge

and did not choose the fear of the Lord,

30 would have none of my counsel,

and despised all my reproof,

29 Since they hated knowledge,

and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,

30 they were not willing to accept my counsel,

they despised all my reproof.

29 You hated knowledge.

You didn’t choose to have respect for the Lord.

30 You wouldn’t accept my advice.

You turned your backs on my warnings.

29 Because they hated knowledge

And did not choose the fear of the Lord.

30 “They would not accept my counsel,

They spurned all my reproof.
