22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge?
23Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof:
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27When your fear cometh as desolation, And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish cometh upon you:
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; They shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30They would none of my counsel: They despised all my reproof.
