Proverbs 1:25

23 If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.

24 Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,

because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,

26 in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,

27 when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
