Proverbs 1:26-29

New American Standard Bible

²⁶I will also ^(A)laugh at your ^(B)disaster;
I will mock when your ^(C)dread comes,
²⁷When your dread comes like a storm
And your disaster comes like a ^(D)whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
²⁸Then they will ^(E)call on me, but I will not answer;
They will ^(F)seek me diligently but will not find me,
²⁹Because they ^(G)hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord.
