26
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes,
27
When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon 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 did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30
They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.
31
Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32
For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33
But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."
