Proverbs 1:25-27

The Voice

²⁵     All my advice, all my correction, all have been neglected—
        you wanted nothing of them.
²⁶     So I will be the laughter you hear when misfortune comes, and it will come.
        I will be the mocking sound when panic grips you—
²⁷     When panic comes like a stormy blast,
        when misfortune sweeps in like a whirlwind,
        when sorrow and anguish weigh you down.
