Pr 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Pr 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Pr 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Pr 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
