Proverbs 1:27-29

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

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

²⁹Why?—because they hated knowledge, and they didn't choose to respect the Lord.
