Proverbs 1:24-26

The Voice

²⁴     You hear, but you have refused to answer my call.
        My hands reached out, but no one noticed.
²⁵     All my advice, all my correction, all have been neglected—
        you wanted nothing of them.
²⁶     So I will be the laughter you hear when misfortune comes, and it will come.
        I will be the mocking sound when panic grips you—
