Proverbs 1:24-29 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

24. "Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

25. And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof;

26. I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes,

27. When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

28. "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,

29. Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord.
