Proverbs 1:24-29

²⁴Whereas I called, and ye refused; I stretched out my hand, and no man was attentive;

²⁵And ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would not accept my admonition:

²⁶Therefore I also will truly laugh at your calamity; I will deride you when your terror cometh;

²⁷When your terror cometh like the tempest-cloud, and your calamity hasteneth like a whirlwind; when there come upon you distress and affliction.

²⁸Then will they call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me;

²⁹For the reason that they hated knowledge, and the fear of the Lord they did not choose;
