But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets until the wrath of Jehovah went up against His people, until there was no healing.
Who knows why I have come, and no one is here? I called, and not one answered. Cutting short, is My hand cut short from ransom? Or is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea; I make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because of no water, and die in thirst.
And I will number you to the sword; and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because I called and you did not answer. I spoke, and you did not hear; and you did the evil in My eyes; and you chose that in which I had no pleasure.
I also will choose their wanton dealings; and I will bring their fears to them; because I called, and not one answered; I spoke, and they did not hear. But they did the evil in My eyes, and chose that in which I had no pleasure.
therefore Jehovah, God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says this, Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken against them because I have spoken to them, but they did not listen. Yea, I have called to them, but they did not answer.
And now, because you have done all these works, a statement of Jehovah, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear. Yea, I called you, but you did not answer.
And I also will deal with fury. My eye shall not spare, and I will not have pity. And though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, even I will not hear them.
