24. Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my yad, and no man regarded;
25. But ye have disdained all my etza (counsel), and would have none of my tokhechah (reproof);
26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your pachad (terror) cometh;
27. When your pachad (terror) cometh like a storm, and your calamity cometh like a whirlwind; when tzarah (distress) and oppression cometh upon you.
28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall look for me diligently, but they shall not find me;
29. For that they hated da'as, and did not choose the Yirat Hashem;
