24 I called, but you refused to listen;
    I held out my hand, but you paid no attention.
25 You did not follow my advice
    and did not listen when I corrected you.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble.
    I will make fun when disaster strikes you,
27 when disaster comes over you like a storm,
    when trouble strikes you like a whirlwind,
    when pain and trouble overwhelm you.

28 “Then you will call to me,
    but I will not answer.
You will look for me,
    but you will not find me.
29 It is because you rejected knowledge
    and did not choose to respect the Lord.
30 You did not accept my advice,
    and you rejected my correction.
31 So you will get what you deserve;
    you will get what you planned for others.
