ACV(i)
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn back at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you. I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I have called, and ye have refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man has regarded,
25 but ye have made all my counsel void, and want none of my reproof,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes,
27 when your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me,
29 because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of LORD.
