have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,(A)

I will mock when panic strikes you,(C)
27 when panic strikes you like a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.(D)
29 Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 would have none of my counsel
and despised all my reproof,(E)

and be sated with their own devices.(F)
32 For waywardness kills the simple,
and the complacency of fools destroys them;(G)
