²⁸ But ^(A)I look, and there is no one,
And there is no ^(B)counselor ^[a]among them
Who, if I ask, can ^(C)respond with a word.

⁴ So I will ^(A)choose their ^[a]punishments
And will ^(B)bring on them what they dread,
Because I called, but ^(C)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
And they did what was ^(D)evil in My eyes
And chose that in which I did not take pleasure.”
