24. Because I have called and you refused,I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded,
25. because you neglected all my counsel,and would have none of my reproof,
26. I also will laugh at your calamity;I will mock when your fear comes,
27. when your fear comes as desolationand your destruction comes as 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 early, but they will not find me.
29. Because they hated knowledgeand did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30. they would have none of my counseland despised all my reproof.
