22So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.
23Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.
24Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed;
25but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;
26therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:
27yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
28For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.
29For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:
