And how long will scorners delight them in scorning, and fools hate knowledge? ²³ Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. ²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man attended, ²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof; ²⁶ I also, in your calamity, will laugh, I will mock when your dread cometh; ²⁷ When your dread cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when trouble and distress come upon you. ²⁸ Then will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me. ²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD; ³⁰ They would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof. ³¹ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. ³² For the waywardness of the thoughtless shall slay them, and the confidence of fools shall destroy them. ³³ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.'
