Proverbs 1:28
World English Bible (WEB)
Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,
In context
26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.
28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,
29 because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of the LORD.
30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
