Proverbs [Sayings] 1:26-30

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 will they 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 Adonai .

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