Proverbs 1:28
“Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;”
Verse in context — Proverbs 1
26
I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;
27
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.
28
Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
29
because they hated knowledge, and didn't choose the fear of Yahweh.
30
They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
