25. Because you disdained all my counsel,and my reproof you ignored—
26. I, in my turn, will laugh at your doom;will mock when terror overtakes you;
27. When terror comes upon you like a storm,and your doom approaches like a whirlwind;when distress and anguish befall you.’
28. Then they will call me, but I will not answer;they will seek me, but will not find me,
29. Because they hated knowledge,and the fear of the Lord they did not choose.
