26I also will laugh in [the day of] your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

28Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:

29For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah:

30They would none of my counsel; They despised all my reproof.

31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices.

32For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
