I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
And now, because ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not:
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
