Proverbs 1:29-30

Probably King Solomon writing (God speaking via scripture...The Word), the 1st 4 chapters of the book of Proverbs being sort of a preamble about wisdom (Proverbs collects "wisdom writings").

Wycliffe Bible of 1384: For thei hatiden teching, and thei token not the drede of the Lord, 30 nether assentiden to my councel, and depraueden al myn amendyng.

King James Bible of 1611: 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.

NAS Bible of 1960: 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.

NIV Bible 1973-78: 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,
