Proverbs 1:24-30

²⁴Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

²⁵but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;

²⁶I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,

²⁷when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.

²⁸Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,

²⁹because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.

³⁰They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
