Proverbs 1:28 Context
26I also will laugh at your calamitie, I wil mocke when your feare commeth. 27When your feare commeth as desolation, and your destruction commeth as a whirlewinde; when distresse and anguish commeth vpon you: 28Then shall they call vpon mee, but I will not answere; they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me: 29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the feare of the Lord. 30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproofe.
