Proverbs 1:27-32

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.

³¹Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.

³²For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
