Bible verse
Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
Proverbs 1:28 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 1.
24 Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,
25 because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,
26 in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,
27 when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.
28 Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
29 For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD.
30 They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
31 So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
