25 because you neglected all my advice, and did not comply with my rebuke, 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 so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you, I will mock when what you dread 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 what you dread comes like a whirlwind, and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm, when distressing trouble comes 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.
