ECB(i)
22 Until when, O gullible, love you gullibility? and scorners delight in their scorning? and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn at my reproof; behold, I gush my spirit to you; I make known my words to you.
24 Because I called and you refuse; I spread my hand and no one hearkens;
25 you loose all my counsel and will none of my reproof.
26 I laugh at your calamity; I deride when your dread comes
27 - when your dread comes as devastation and your calamity comes as a hurricane; when tribulation and distress come on you.
28 Then they call me, and I answer not; they seek me early, and they find me not;
29 because they hate knowledge and choose not the awe of Yah Veh;
30 they will not my counsel; they scorn all my reproof;
31 they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels:
32 for the apostasy of the gullible slaughters them and the serenity of fools destroys them.
33 And whoever hearkens to me tabernacles confidently; and relaxes from dread of evil.
