23Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise. 24“I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.

I will mock you when disaster overtakes you— 27when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone, and anguish and distress overwhelm you.
