26 I also laugh in your calamity, || I deride when your fear comes, 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 your fear comes as destruction, || And your calamity comes as a windstorm, || When adversity and distress come on 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 Then they call me, and I do not answer, || They seek me earnestly, and do 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 that they have hated knowledge, || And have not chosen the fear of YHWH. 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 have not consented to my counsel, || They have despised all my reproof, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, || And they are filled from their own counsels. 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.
32 For the turning of the simple slays them, || And the security of the foolish destroys them. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 And whoever is listening to me dwells confidently, || And [is] quiet from fear of evil!” but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.” but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
