Proverbs 1:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 1:26

24 ^aBecause I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,

25 Because you ^adisdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,

26 ^aI also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,

27 When ^ayour terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.

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

29 Because they ^ahated knowledge
And did not ^bchoose the fear of the Lord,
