A note on Proverbs 1:23 - Because of the peculiarities of Hebrew, such as the absence of tense, the verse we recently commented upon:

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

... could also read ...

"If you had turned ... I would have ..."

While the essential meaning is the same, one indicates wisdom's lament over the rejection by the one she has sought and the other holds out the possibility to us that wisdom will indeed come through for us if we heed her reproof. Both are true. Both are vital.
