24Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

25But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof;

26I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;

27When calamity overtakes you like a storm, When your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come on you.

28Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
