22'How long, ye thoughtless, will ye love thoughtlessness? And how long will scorners delight them in 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 attended,
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof;
26I also, in your calamity, will laugh, I will mock when your dread cometh;
27When your dread cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when trouble and distress come upon you.
28Then will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me earnestly, 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.
31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32For the waywardness of the thoughtless shall slay them, and the confidence of fools shall destroy them.
