Proverbs 1:28

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.

In context

26 in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,

27 when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.

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

29 For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD.

30 They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
