Psalm 50:17

Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
