Proverbs 1:24-28

Tree of Life Version

²⁴ Because you refused when I called,
and did not pay attention when I stretched out my hand,
²⁵ since you ignore all my advice
and would not accept my rebuke,
²⁶ I in turn will laugh at your calamity.
I will mock when dread comes on you,
²⁷ when your terror comes like a storm
    and your calamity sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when trouble and distress overwhelm you!
²⁸ Then they will cry out to me, but I will not answer!
They will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
