Proverbs 1:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity;
    I will mock when panic strikes you,^(A)
27 when panic strikes you like a storm
    and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
    when distress and anguish come upon you.
²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
    they will seek me diligently but will not find me.^(B)
