Isaiah 66:4
New King James Version
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;

When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;

But did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

Matthew 22:2-7
New King James Version
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; (A)my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them [a]spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out (B)his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

Isaiah 50:2
New King James Version
2 Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Indeed with My (A)rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.

19 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: (A)I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, (B)and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left. 20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. 21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ 22 The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, (C)‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’ 23 (D)Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
