Proverbs 1:24-28

24I called out to you, but you refused to listen. I reached out to you, but you turned your backs to me.

25You would not accept my teaching. When I warned you, you did nothing.

26So, when trouble comes to you, I will laugh. I will laugh at you when you are afraid.

27Fear may hit you like a strong wind. Trouble may knock you down, like a storm. Your problems may make you very afraid. But I will laugh at you.

28Foolish people will call to me for help, but I will not answer. They will look for me everywhere, but they will not find me.
