CLV(i)
24 Because I called, and you refused, I stretched out my hand, and no one attended,
25 And you renounced all my counsel, And you would not heed my reproof,
26 Indeed, I myself shall ridicule you in your calamity; I shall deride when alarm comes upon you,
27 When alarm comes upon you like a tumult, And calamity, it arrives upon you like a sweeping whirlwind, When distress and constraint come upon you."
28 Then they shall call me, yet I shall not answer; They shall seek me early, yet shall not find me."
29 Because they hated knowledge And would not choose the fear of Yahweh,
30 They would not heed my counsel, They spurned all my correction,
31 Thus they shall eat of the fruit of their way, And they shall be surfeited with the results of their counsels."
