  1. 1 Samuel 2:25 Or the judges

24 But since you refuse(A) to listen when I call(B)
    and no one pays attention(C) when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh(D) when disaster(E) strikes you;
    I will mock(F) when calamity overtakes you(G)
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster(H) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
