Context of Proverbs 1:25
23If only you will respond to my rebuke, then I will pour out my thoughts to you and I will make my words known to you. 24However, because I called but you refused to listen, because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention, because you neglected all my advice, and did not comply with my rebuke, 26so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you, I will mock when what you dread comes, 27when what you dread comes like a whirlwind, and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm, when distressing trouble comes on you.
