Bible in Basic English
"So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;"
— Proverbs 1:26, Bible in Basic English
“I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;”
“I also will laugh inthe day ofyour calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; ”
“I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;”
“so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you, I will mock when what you dread comes,”
“I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared.”
“I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;”
Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.
Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;
You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:
So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;
When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.
Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:
For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:
