26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes upon you;
27. when what you have feared comes as destruction, and your calamity comes as a whirlwind; when tribulation and anguish come upon you.
28. Then they shall 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 rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
