ESVEnglish Standard Version

Because they hated knowledge

and did not choose the fear of the Lord,

would have none of my counsel

and despised all my reproof,

therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way,

and have their fill of their own devices.

For the simple are killed by their turning away,

and the complacency of fools destroys them;

Copyright 2001 Crossway Bibles

NIVNew International Version (2011)

since they hated knowledge

and did not choose to fear the Lord.

Since they would not accept my advice

and spurned my rebuke,

they will eat the fruit of their ways

and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,

and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Because they hated knowledge,

didn’t choose to fear the Lord,

were not interested in my counsel,

and rejected all my correction,

they will eat the fruit of their way

and be glutted with their own schemes.

For the apostasy of the inexperienced will kill them,

and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

NLTNew Living Translation

For they hated knowledge

and chose not to fear the Lord.

They rejected my advice

and paid no attention when I corrected them.

Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way,

choking on their own schemes.

For simpletons turn away from me—to death.

Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Since they hated knowledge,

and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,

they were not willing to accept my counsel,

they despised all my reproof.

They shall eat from the fruit of their way,

and they shall be sated from their own schemes,

for the waywardness of the simple ones will kill them,

and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
