22 “You foolish people! How long do you want to stay foolish?How long will you make fun of wisdom?How long will you hate knowledge?
23 Listen when I correct you.I will tell you what’s in my heart.I will tell you what I am thinking.
24 I called, but you refused to listen.I held out my hand, but you paid no attention.
25 You did not follow my advice.You did not want me to correct you.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble.I will make fun when disaster happens to you.
27 Disaster will come over you like a storm.Trouble will strike you like a whirlwind.Pain and trouble will overwhelm you.
28 “Then you will call out to me.But I will not answer.You will look for me.But you will not find me.
