23 Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.
24 I have been calling you, inviting you to come, but you would not listen. You paid no attention to me.
25 You have ignored all my advice and have not been willing to let me correct you.
26 So when you get into trouble, I will laugh at you. I will make fun of you when terror strikes—
27 when it comes on you like a storm, bringing fierce winds of trouble, and you are in pain and misery.
28 Then you will call for wisdom, but I will not answer. You may look for me everywhere, but you will not find me.
29 You have never had any use for knowledge and have always refused to obey the Lord.
