- I have called:
- "Wherefore,¹ when I came,ª° [was there] no¹ man?ª when I called,ª° [was there] none¹ to answer?ª° Is my handª shortened²° at all,ª° that it cannot redeem?ª¹ or¹ have I no¹ powerª to deliver?ª° behold,¹ at my rebukeª I dry upª° the sea,ª I makeª° the riversª a wilderness:ª their fishª stinketh,ª° because [there is] no¹¹ water,ª and diethª° for thirst.ª" {Isa 50:2} + "Therefore will I numberª° you to the sword,ª and ye shall all¹ bow downª° to the slaughter:ª because¹ when I called,ª° ye did not¹ answer;ª° when I spake,ª° ye did not¹ hear;ª° but didª° evilª before mine eyes,ª and did chooseª° [that] wherein¹ I delightedª° not.¹" {Isa 65:12} + "I¹ also¹ will chooseª° their delusions,ª and will bringª° their fearsª upon them; because¹ when I called,ª° none¹ did answer;ª° when I spake,ª° they did not¹ hear:ª° but they didª° evilª before mine eyes,ª and choseª° [that] in which¹ I delightedª° not.¹" {Isa 66:4} + "And now,¹ because¹ ye have doneª°¹ all¹ these¹ works,ª saithª° the LORD,ª and I spakeª° unto¹ you, rising up earlyª° and speaking,ª° but ye heardª° not;¹ and I calledª° you, but ye answeredª° not;¹" {Jer 7:13} + "Therefore will I¹ also¹ dealª° in fury:ª mine eyeª shall not¹ spare,ª° neither¹ will I have pity:ª° and though they cryª° in mine earsª with a loudª voice,ª [yet] will I not¹ hearª° them." {Ezk 8:18} + "But they refusedª° to hearken,ª° and pulled¹ awayª²°° the shoulder,ª and stoppedª° their ears,ª that they should not hear.ª°¹ ... Yea, they madeª° their heartsª [as] an adamant stone,ª lest they should hearª°¹ the¹ law,ª and the wordsª which¹ the LORDª of hostsª hath sentª° in his spiritª byª the formerª prophets:ª therefore came¹ a greatª wrathª from¹¹ the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Zch 7:11-12} + "Butª they¹ made light ofª° [it], and went their ways,ª° oneª¹ toª hisª farm,ª¹ another²¹¹ toª his²¹ merchandise:ª ... Andª the¹ remnantª tookª° hisª servants,ª and entreated [them] spitefully,ª° andª slewª° [them]." {Mtt 22:5-6} + "O Jerusalem,ª Jerusalem,ª [thou] that killestª° the¹ prophets,ª andª stonestª° them which are sentª° untoª thee,ª how oftenª would¹ I²° have gathered²° thy²² children² together,ª°¹¹ even asª¹ a henª gatherethª° herª chickensª underª [her] wings,ª andª ye wouldª° not!ª ... Behold,ª° yourª houseª is leftª° unto youª desolate.ª" {Mtt 23:37-38} + "Seeª° that ye refuseª° notª him that speaketh.ª° Forª ifª theyª escapedª° notª who refused¹ him²° that spakeª° onª earth,ª muchª moreª [shall not] weª [escape], if we turn away from¹ him²°¹ that [speaketh] fromª heaven:ª ... Whoseª voiceª thenª shookª° the¹ earth:ª butª nowª he hath promised,ª° saying,ª° Yetª once moreª Iª shakeª° notª the¹ earthª only,ª butª alsoª heaven.ª" {Hbr 12:25-26}
