Proverbs 1:28-29

Then will they call upon me [Wisdom] but I will not answer; they will seek me early and diligently but they will not find me. [Job 27:9; 35:12, 13; Isa. 1:15, 16; Jer. 11:11; Mic. 3:4; James 4:3.] Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord, [Prov. 8:13.]
