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:

World English Bible

Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
