24But since you refuseh to listen when I calli

and no one pays attentionj when I stretch out my hand,

25since you disregard all my advice

and do not accept my rebuke,

26I in turn will laughk when disasterl strikes you;

I will mockm when calamity overtakes youn—

27when calamity overtakes you like a storm,

when disastero sweeps over you like a whirlwind,

when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28“Then they will call to me but I will not answer;p

they will look for me but will not find me,q

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Because I have called and you refused to listen,

have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,

because you have ignored all my counsel

and would have none of my reproof,

I also will laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when terror strikes you,

when terror strikes you like a storm

and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,

when distress and anguish come upon you.

Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;

they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Since I called out and you refused,

extended my hand and no one paid attention,

since you neglected all my counsel

and did not accept my correction,

I, in turn, will laugh at your calamity.

I will mock when terror strikes you,

when terror strikes you like a storm

and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,

when trouble and stress overcome you.

Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;

they will search for me, but won’t find me.

NLTNew Living Translation

“I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come.

I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.

You ignored my advice

and rejected the correction I offered.

So I will laugh when you are in trouble!

I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—

when calamity overtakes you like a storm,

when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone,

and anguish and distress overwhelm you.

“When they cry for help, I will not answer.

Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Because I called out and you refused me,

I stretched out my hand, yet there is none who heeds.

You have ignored all my counsel,

and my reproof you are not willing to accept.

I will also laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when panic comes upon you.

When your panic comes like a storm,

and your calamity arrives like a whirlwind,

when distress and anguish come upon you,

then they will call me, but I will not answer;

they will seek me diligently but not find me.

KJV 1900King James Version

Because I have called, and ye refused;

I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

But ye have set at nought all my counsel,

And would none of my reproof:

I also will laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when your fear cometh;

When your fear cometh as desolation,

And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;

When distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;

They shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
