\verseNumber{22}How|strong="H4970" long|strong="H5704", you|strong="H5704" simple ones|strong="H3684", will|strong="H5704" foolish|strong="H3684" things|strong="H2530" be dear to|strong="H5704" you|strong="H5704"? and|strong="H0157" pride a|strong="H5704" delight|strong="H2530" to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H5704" haters of|strong="H1847" authority? how|strong="H4970" long|strong="H5704" will|strong="H5704" the|strong="H5704" foolish|strong="H3684" go on hating|strong="H8130" knowledge|strong="H1847"? 
\verseNumber{23}Be|strong="H1697" turned|strong="H7725" again|strong="H7725" by|strong="H7725" my|strong="H7725" sharp words|strong="H1697": see|strong="H2009", I|strong="H2009" will|strong="H7307" send the|strong="H0853" flow of|strong="H1697" my|strong="H7725" spirit|strong="H7307" on|strong="H1697" you|strong="H7725", and|strong="H7725" make|strong="H3045" my|strong="H7725" words|strong="H1697" clear to|strong="H7725" you|strong="H7725". 
\verseNumber{24}Because|strong="H3282" your|strong="H5186" ears were|strong="H3027" shut to|strong="H0369" my|strong="H3027" voice; no|strong="H0369" one|strong="H0369" gave|strong="H7121" attention|strong="H7181" to|strong="H0369" my|strong="H3027" out-stretched hand|strong="H3027"; 
\verseNumber{25}You|strong="H3605" were not|strong="H3808" controlled by|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" guiding, and|strong="H6098" would|strong="H0014" have|strong="H3605" nothing|strong="H3808" to|strong="H0014" do|strong="H3605" with|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" sharp words: 
\verseNumber{26}So|strong="H0935" in|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0935" day of|strong="H0935" your|strong="H0935" trouble I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H1571" be|strong="H1571" laughing; I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H1571" make sport|strong="H7832" of|strong="H0935" your|strong="H0935" fear|strong="H6343"; 
\verseNumber{27}When|strong="H0935" your|strong="H5921" fear|strong="H6343" comes|strong="H0935" on|strong="H5921" you|strong="H5921" like|strong="H5921" a|strong="H0935" storm|strong="H7584", and|strong="H0935" your|strong="H5921" trouble|strong="H6869" like|strong="H5921" a|strong="H0935" rushing wind; when|strong="H0935" pain and|strong="H0935" sorrow|strong="H5921" come|strong="H0935" on|strong="H5921" you|strong="H5921". 
\verseNumber{28}Then|strong="H0227" I|strong="H0227" will|strong="H3808" give|strong="H6030" no|strong="H3808" answer|strong="H6030" to|strong="H7121" their|strong="H3808" cries|strong="H7121"; searching for|strong="H7121" me|strong="H7121" early, they|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" see me|strong="H7121": 
\verseNumber{29}For|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" were haters of|strong="H3068" knowledge|strong="H1847", and|strong="H3068" did|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" give their|strong="H3068" hearts to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" fear|strong="H3374" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" Lord|strong="H3068": 
\verseNumber{30}They|strong="H3808" had|strong="H3808" no|strong="H3808" desire for|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" teaching, and|strong="H6098" my|strong="H3605" words of|strong="H3605" protest were as nothing|strong="H3808" to|strong="H0014" them. 
\verseNumber{31}So the|strong="H0398" fruit|strong="H6529" of|strong="H1870" their|strong="H0398" way|strong="H1870" will|strong="H6529" be|strong="H1870" their|strong="H0398" food|strong="H0398", and|strong="H0398" with|strong="H7646" the|strong="H0398" designs of|strong="H1870" their|strong="H0398" hearts they|strong="H1870" will|strong="H6529" be|strong="H1870" made full|strong="H7646". 
\verseNumber{32}For|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" turning|strong="H4878" back of|strong="H7962" the|strong="H3588" simple from|strong="H0006" teaching will|strong="H3684" be|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" cause of|strong="H7962" their|strong="H3588" death, and|strong="H0006" the|strong="H3588" peace of|strong="H7962" the|strong="H3588" foolish|strong="H3684" will|strong="H3684" be|strong="H3588" their|strong="H3588" destruction|strong="H0006". 
\verseNumber{33}But|strong="H8085" whoever gives ear to|strong="H8085" me will|strong="H8085" take his|strong="H8085" rest|strong="H7931" safely|strong="H0983", living|strong="H7931" in|strong="H8085" peace without fear|strong="H6343" of|strong="H8085" evil|strong="H7451".
