24 “I called, and you refused to listen.I stretched out my hands to you, and no one paid attention.
25 You ignored all my advice.You did not want me to warn you.
26 I will laugh at your calamity.I will make fun of youwhen panic strikes you,
27 when panic strikes you like a violent storm,when calamity strikes you like a wind storm,when trouble and anguish come to you.
28 “They will call to me at that time, but I will not answer.They will look for me, but they will not find me,
29 because they hated knowledgeand did not choose the fear of the Lord.
30 They refused my advice.They despised my every warning.
