Proverbs 1:27-29

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ when terror strikes you like a violent storm,
when calamity strikes you like a windstorm,
when trouble and distress come upon you.
²⁸ Then they will call to me, but I will not answer.
They will look for me, but they will not find me,
²⁹ because they hated knowledge,
and they did not choose the fear of the Lord.
