22 “How much longerwill you enjoybeing stupid fools?Won't you ever stop sneeringand laughing at knowledge?

24 You completely ignored meand refused to listen;
25 you rejected my adviceand paid no attentionwhen I warned you.
26 “So when you are struckby some terrible disaster,
27 or when trouble and distresssurround you like a whirlwind,I will laugh and make fun of you.
