Proverbs 1:26-30

The Call of Wisdom

26 I also j will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when k terror strikes you,
 27 when terror strikes you like l a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
 28 m Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
 29 Because they c hated knowledge
and n did not choose the fear of the Lord,
 30 h would have none of my counsel
and i despised all my reproof,
