Proverbs 1:24-30

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.
