Context of Proverbs 1:25
23You are repulsed at my rebuke. Behold, I pour out my heart to you. I will make my words known to you. 24Because you refused when I called, and did not pay attention when I stretched out my hand, since you ignore all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, 26I in turn will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when dread comes on you, 27when your terror comes like a storm and your calamity sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when trouble and distress overwhelm you!
