In context

27Yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, And your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; And when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, Or when ruin shall come upon you.

28For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: Wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

— Proverbs 1:29 —

30Neither would they attend to my counsels, But derided my reproofs.

31Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, And shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
