Proverbs 1:27-29

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁷ When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a ^(A)whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
²⁸ “Then they will ^(B)call on me, but I will not answer;
They will ^(C)seek me diligently but they will not find me,
²⁹ Because they ^(D)hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord.
