24 Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
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 will they 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 didn`t choose the fear of Yahweh.
30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
