Proverbs 1:24-28 ▼

24 “Because I called and you refused [to answer], I stretched out my hand and no one has paid attention [to my offer];

25 And you treated all my counsel as nothing And would not accept my reprimand,

26 I also will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when your dread and panic come,

27 When your dread and panic come like a storm, And your disaster comes like a whirlwind, When anxiety and distress come upon you [as retribution].

28 “Then they will call upon me (Wisdom), but I will not answer; They will seek me eagerly but they will not find me,
