"Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;"
— Proverbs 1:28, World English Bible
“Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:”
“Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: ”
“Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.”
“Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning, and shall not find me:”
“Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:”
“Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:”
but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.
Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
because they hated knowledge, and didn't choose the fear of Yahweh.
They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.
