Proverbs 1:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷         when terror hits you like a hurricane,
        and your disaster comes in like a tornado,
        when distress and oppression overcome you.
²⁸ Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;
    they will seek me, but won’t find me
²⁹         because they hated knowledge
        and didn’t choose the fear of the Lord.
