¹² They have spoken falsely of the Lord
    and have said, “He will do nothing.
No evil will come upon us,
    and we shall not see sword or famine.”^(A)
13 The prophets are nothing but wind,
    for the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them!^(B)

¹⁵ on such a one calamity will descend suddenly,
    in a moment, damage beyond repair.^(A)

²⁴ Because I have called and you refused,
    have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,^(A)
25 and because you have ignored all my counsel
    and would have none of my reproof,^(B)
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
    I will mock when panic strikes you,^(C)
27 when panic strikes you like a storm
    and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
    when distress and anguish come upon you.
²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
    they will seek me diligently but will not find me.^(D)
29 Because they hated knowledge
    and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
³⁰ would have none of my counsel
    and despised all my reproof,^(E)
31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way
    and be sated with their own devices.^(F)

¹ O God, why do you cast us off forever?
    Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?^(A)
