I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.

New King James Version
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose(A)
6 (B)But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For (C)they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 (D)nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, (E)“In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but (F)the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: (G)“At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”
10 And not only this, but when (H)Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of (I)Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, (J)“The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, (K)“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”

So that He will (B)not hear.
