Pro 1:24-31, Hos 5:6, Mat 23:39, Joh 8:21-24, 13:33-36, 14:3, 6, 17:24 | ESV | STEP | Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded ,

24 ^aBecause I have called and ^byou refused to listen,
have ^cstretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have ^dignored all my counsel
and ^ewould have none of my reproof,
26 I also ^fwill laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when ^gterror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like ^ha storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 ⁱThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they ^jhated knowledge
and ^kdid not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 ^lwould have none of my counsel
and ^mdespised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat ⁿthe fruit of their way,
and have ^otheir fill of their own devices.

John 13:33-36

33 Little children, ^adyet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^aeas I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 ^afA new commandment ^agI give to you, ^ahthat you love one another: ^aijust as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 ^ajBy this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
