24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have ignored all my counsel, and would have none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your terror comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would have none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
