Proverbs 1:24-28

²⁴But when I called to you, you refused to listen. I beckoned to you to come to me, but you ignored me.

²⁵I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen to me. I tried to correct you, but you rejected what I told you.

²⁶So now, when you are experiencing troubles/disasters, I will laugh at you. When things happen that cause you to be afraid, I will make fun of you.

²⁷When calamities strike you like a big storm, when disasters hit you like a violent wind, when all kinds of things distress you and give you trouble, I will ridicule you!

²⁸Wisdom also says, “When foolish people call to me to help them, I will not answer them. They will search for me diligently/everywhere, but they will not find me.
