- when I 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} + "Because¹ I have called,ª° and ye refused;ª° I have stretched outª° my hand,ª and no man¹ regarded;ª°" {Prv 1:24} + "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} + "The¹ kingdomª of heavenª is like²° unto¹ a certain² king,ª¹ whichª madeª° a marriageª for his²¹ son,ª ... Butª when the¹ kingª heardª° [thereof], he was wroth:ª° andª he sent forthª° his²¹ armies,ª and destroyedª° thoseª murderers,ª andª burned upª° theirª city.ª" {Mtt 22:2-7}
