23. I wanted to tell you everything I knew and give you all my knowledge, but you didn’t listen to my advice and teaching.
24. “I tried to help, but you refused to listen. I offered my hand, but you turned away from me.
25. You ignored my advice and refused to be corrected.
26. So I will laugh at your troubles and make fun of you when what you fear happens.
27. Disasters will strike you like a storm. Problems will pound you like a strong wind. Trouble and misery will weigh you down.
28. “Fools will call for me, but I will not answer. They will look for me, but they will not find me.
