25. Because you disdained all my counsel,and my reproof you ignored—
26. I, in my turn, will laugh at your doom;will mock when terror overtakes you;
27. When terror comes upon you like a storm,and your doom approaches like a whirlwind;when distress and anguish befall you.’
28. Then they will call me, but I will not answer;they will seek me, but will not find me,
29. Because they hated knowledge,and the fear of the Lord they did not choose.
30. They ignored my counsel,they spurned all my reproof;
