26. I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic comes upon you.
27. When your panic comes like a storm, and your calamity arrives like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you,
28. then they will call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but not find me.
29. Since they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,
30. they were not willing to accept my counsel, they despised all my reproof.
