Proverbs 1:27

when it comes upon you like a storm,
when your downfall comes like a whirlwind,
when difficulties (mental anguish) befall you.
[The picture painted here is of fools who hate and ridicule wisdom. In the end, their path leads to destruction, and then it is wisdom that laughs at them instead. This reinforces the absurdity of choosing a foolish path despite repeated warnings. I in this verse refers to personified wisdom, not God. He does not laugh at misfortune; he, if anyone, can sympathize with human suffering. He does not extinguish a smoldering wick, Isa. 42:3, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, see Luke 19:41, etc.]
