Proverbs 1:25-28 in English

²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof:

²⁶ I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

²⁸ Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:

²⁵ but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;

²⁶ therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

²⁷ yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

²⁸ For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

²⁵ but you° set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;

²⁶ therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

²⁷ yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

²⁸ For it shall be that when you° call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

²⁶ I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ When your fear cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you.

²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:

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

²⁶ So 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.

²⁷ When 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!

²⁸ Wisdom 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.

²⁵ but you° set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;

²⁶ therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

²⁷ yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

²⁸ For it shall be that when you° call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁵ You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:

²⁶ So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;

²⁷ When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.

²⁸ Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:

²⁵ and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

²⁶ I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:

²⁸ — then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me.

²⁷ When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you:

²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me:

²⁵ You ignored everything I said; you wouldn't accept any of my warnings.

²⁶ So I'll laugh at you when you're in trouble; I'll mock you when you're in a panic.

²⁷ When panic rains down on you like a storm, when trouble hits you like a whirlwind, when sorrow and pain come on you,

²⁸ then you'll call out to me for help, but I won't answer; you'll search hard for me, but won't find me.

²⁵ But ye haue despised all my counsell, and would none of my correction.

²⁶ I will also laugh at your destruction, and mocke, when your feare commeth.

²⁷ Whe your feare cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shall come like a whirle wind: whe affliction and anguish shall come vpon you,

²⁸ Then shall they call vpon me, but I will not answere: they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me,

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

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

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

²⁵ But ye set at nought my counsels, And disregarded my reproofs;

²⁶ Therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; And I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

²⁷ Yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, And your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; And when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, Or when ruin shall come upon you.

²⁸ For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: Wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

²⁵ Because ye have rejected all my counsel, And have slighted my rebuke,—

²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ When your fear cometh upon you like a storm. And destruction overtaketh you like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

²⁶ And I shall laugh in your perishing; and I shall scorn you, when that, that ye dread, cometh to you.

²⁷ When sudden wretchedness falleth in, and perishing befalleth as tempest; when tribulation and anguish cometh on you.

²⁸ Then they shall call me, and I shall not hear; they shall rise early, and they shall not find me.

²⁵ Ye have despised all my counsel; and charged not my blamings (or and would not listen to my rebukes).

²⁶ And I shall laugh in your perishing; and I shall scorn you, when that, that ye dread, cometh to you. (And so I shall laugh at your misfortune, or at your tribulation; and I shall scorn you, when what ye fear, cometh to you.)

²⁷ When sudden wretchedness falleth in, and perishing befalleth as (a) tempest; when tribulation and anguish cometh up on you.

²⁸ Then they shall call me, and I shall not hear (or but I shall not answer them); they shall rise early, and they shall not find me.
