Context of Proverbs 1:29
27When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. 28Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me, Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord. 30They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof. 31So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices.
