23 Turn at my reproof.Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you.I will make known my words to you.
24 Because I have called, and you have refused;I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
25 but you have ignored all my counsel,and wanted none of my reproof;
26 I also will laugh at your disaster.I will mock when calamity overtakes you;
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind;when distress and anguish come on you.
28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer.They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
29 because they hated knowledge,and didn’t choose the fear of the Lord.
