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.
28	Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek 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 moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear 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 did not comply with my advice, they spurned all my rebuke.	would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof,	Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31	Therefore they will eat from the fruit of their way, and they will be stuffed full of their own counsel.	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 waywardness of the simpletons will kill them, and the careless ease of fools will destroy 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	But the one who listens to me will live in security, and will be at ease from the dread of harm.	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.”
