Can God be found? Yes: Proverbs 8:17 says yes while Proverbs 1:28 says no. This is another sophomoric attempt to discredit the Bible by pointing to supposed contradictions in it. And again, it is easy to discredit the critics.
1. These verses refer to Lady Wisdom, not God.
2. Proverbs only state the general rule.
3. All of Proverbs 1 concerns those who persistently refuse to listen to Wisdom. This is equivalent to the hardening of hearts that appears elsewhere in the Bible, which happens when people have already hardened their own hearts.
4. By contrast, all of Proverbs 8 concerns those who love Wisdom and always seek it.
