23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. |
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; |
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: |
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; |
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. |
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: |
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: |
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. |
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. |
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. |
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. |
