I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you,
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
For I tell you,none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’”
therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.”
And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision.
Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.
A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is despised.
Condemnation is ready for scoffers, and beating for the backs of fools.
