24 “Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention; | |
25 And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof; | |
26 I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes, | |
27 When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. | |
28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me, | |
29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD. | |
30 “They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof. | |
31 “So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices. | |
32 “For the waywardness of thei Lit simple onesnaive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them. | |
