Proverbs 1:24-28

English Standard Version

^24 (A)Because I have called and ^(B)you refused to listen,
    have ^(C)stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
²⁵ because you have ^(D)ignored all my counsel
    and ^(E)would have none of my reproof,
²⁶ I also ^(F)will laugh at your calamity;
    I will mock when ^(G)terror strikes you,
²⁷ when terror strikes you like ^(H)a storm
    and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
    when distress and anguish come upon you.
^28 (I)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
    they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
