²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

¹² Therefore will I number 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 did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

⁴ And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

⁵ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
