²⁴ But since you refuse^(A) to listen when I call^(B)
    and no one pays attention^(C) when I stretch out my hand,
²⁵ since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
²⁶ I in turn will laugh^(D) when disaster^(E) strikes you;
    I will mock^(F) when calamity overtakes you^(G)—
²⁷ when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster^(H) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

²⁸ “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;^(I)
    they will look for me but will not find me,^(J)
29 since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.^(K)
30 Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,^(L)
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.^(M)
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them;^(N)
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety^(O)
    and be at ease, without fear of harm.”^(P)
