Since I called, and ye\r\ndid not hear; I held forth my words, and ye regarded not,\r\nbut set at naught my counsels, and yielded not at my reproofs;\r\ntherefore I too will laugh at your destruction; yea, I will\r\nrejoice when ruin cometh upon you, and when sudden confusion\r\novertakes you, when overturning presents itself like a\r\ntempest, or when tribulation and oppression fall upon you.\r\nFor it shall come to pass, that when ye call upon me, I will\r\nnot hear you; the wicked shall seek me, and they shall not\r\nfind me. For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the\r\nfear of the Lord; nor would they listen to my counsels, but\r\ndespised my reproofs.
