26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes upon you;
27. when what you have feared comes as destruction, and your calamity comes as a whirlwind; when tribulation and anguish come upon you.
28. Then they shall call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30. They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31. Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own counsel.
32. For the rest of the ignorant shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33. But whosoever hearkens unto me shall dwell safely and shall rest from the fear of evil.
