Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn't delight."

Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
