Proverbs 1:24-28
New American Standard Bible
24 Because (A)I called and you (B)refused,
I (C)stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
25 And you (D)neglected all my advice
And did not (E)want my rebuke;
26 I will also (F)laugh at your (G)disaster;
I will mock when your (H)dread comes,
27 When your dread comes like a storm
And your disaster comes like a (I)whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they will (J)call on me, but I will not answer;
They will (K)seek me diligently but will not find me,
Proverbs 1:24-28
New Living Translation
24 “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come.
I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.
25 You ignored my advice
and rejected the correction I offered.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble!
I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone,
and anguish and distress overwhelm you.
28 “When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
