Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 1:24

"Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded;" — Proverbs 1:24 (ASV)

The threats and warnings of Wisdom are also foreshadowings of the teaching of Jesus. There will come a time when “too late” shall be written on all efforts, on all remorse. Compare Matthew 25:10, Matthew 25:30.
