Proverbs 1:27-29

World English Bible

²⁷ when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind,
    when distress and anguish come on you.
²⁸ Then they will call on me, but I will not answer.
    They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,
²⁹ because they hated knowledge,
    and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.
