22 “How long, you simple ones, Would you love simplicity, And shall scoffers delight in their scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?
23 “Turn at my reproof. See, I pour out my spirit on you, I make my words known to you.
24 “Because I called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one inclined,
25 “And you spurned all my counsel, And would not yield to my reproof,
26 “Let me also laugh at your calamity, Mock when your dread comes,
27 “When your dread comes like a storm, And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “Let them then call on me, but I answer not; Let them seek me, but not find me.
