I have written elsewhere on other verses within this passage but I notice a pattern, here, that is worth attention. First wisdom calls. If there is no response on the part of the person wisdom is calling to, then a calamity comes at which point the person now calls upon wisdom. But it is too late.
So in a sense, I might observe a pattern in the calls. First the call comes through wisdom. Last the call comes from me. I need to respond to the call before I become the one calling. The first call is an attempt to turn me; the second call (my own) is an attempt to escape.

yikes, flint. this one kind of hit close to home - and not in a good way.
the question is how do you know when it's too late?
