Thematic Bible: Refused by men
Thematic Bible
God's Call » Examples of Leadership » Refused by men
So I will choose their punishments,
And will bring the things they dread upon them
Because I called, but no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen or obey.
But they did evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
“Because I called and you refused [to answer],
I stretched out my hand and no one has paid attention [to my offer];
I will destine you for the sword, [says the Lord],
And all of you will bow down to the slaughter,
Because when I called, you did not answer;
When I spoke, you did not listen or obey.
But you did [what was] evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
And now, because you have done all these things,” says the Lord, “and I spoke [persistently] to you, even rising up early and speaking, but you did not listen, and I called you but you did not answer,
My God will reject them and cast them away
Because they did not listen to Him;
And they will be wanderers (fugitives) among the nations.
But of Israel he says, “All day long I have stretched out My hands [in compassion] to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
