SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:28
Entonces me llamarán, y no responderé; me buscarán de mañana, y no me hallarán;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer , etc.] As he called them, and they refused to answer to his call, ( Proverbs 1:24); so it was just in him to return no answer to them, when they called on him to deliver them from the Romans, and save them from ruin: for this was what they called out for, and what they expected, that the Messiah would come and deliver them; this was what they buoyed themselves up with, and made them so desperate to the last; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me ; this is the very thing that Christ told the Jews, and much in the same words with these, ( John 7:34 8:21); for when he was gone, and they were in distress, then they sought after the Messiah, in the desert, and in the secret chambers, and in this and the other place, where they were told he was; but, alas! they could not find him: the true Messiah, whom they had rejected, was come and gone, and would return no more, until his second coming to judgment; or, however, till he came in his kingdom and power, to their ruin and destruction; of which coming of his the Scriptures often speak.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-33 - Solomon, having showed how dangerous it is to hearken to the temptations of Satan, here declares how dangerous it is not to hearke to the calls of God. Christ himself is Wisdom, is Wisdoms. Three sort of persons are here called by Him: 1. Simple ones. Sinners are fond of their simple notions of good and evil, their simple prejudices agains the ways of God, and flatter themselves in their wickedness. 2 Scorners. Proud, jovial people, that make a jest of every thing Scoffers at religion, that run down every thing sacred and serious. 3 Fools. Those are the worst of fools that hate to be taught, and have rooted dislike to serious godliness. The precept is plain; Turn you a my reproof. We do not make a right use of reproofs, if we do not tur from evil to that which is good. The promises are very encouraging. Me cannot turn by any power of their own; but God answers, Behold, I wil pour out my Spirit unto you. Special grace is needful to sincer conversion. But that grace shall never be denied to any who seek it The love of Christ, and the promises mingled with his reproofs, surel should have the attention of every one. It may well be asked, how lon men mean to proceed in such a perilous path, when the uncertainty of life and the consequences of dying without Christ are considered? No sinners live at ease, and set sorrow at defiance; but their calamit will come. Now God is ready to hear their prayers; but then they shal cry in vain. Are we yet despisers of wisdom? Let us hearken diligently and obey the Lord Jesus, that we may enjoy peace of conscience an confidence in God; be free from evil, in life, in death, and for ever __________________________________________________________________
