	GWT God's Word Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
24	\|I called, and you refused to listen. I stretched out my hands to you, and no one paid attention.	Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,	But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25	You ignored all my advice. You did not want me to warn you.	because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,	since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,
26	I will laugh at your calamity. I will make fun of you when panic strikes you,	I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you,	I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27	when panic strikes you like a violent storm, when calamity strikes you like a wind storm, when trouble and anguish come to you.	when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.	when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28	\|They will call to me at that time, but I will not answer. They will look for me, but they will not find me,	Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.	“Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,
29	because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.	Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD,	since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.
30	They refused my advice. They despised my every warning.	would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof,	Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31	They will eat the fruit of their lifestyle. They will be stuffed with their own schemes.	therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.	they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
