neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.

Nevertheless they sneered at His messengers, and despised His words, and mocked His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against His people, till there was no remedy.

because they rebelled against the words of God, and provoked the counsel of the Most High.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God for themselves, because they had not been baptized by him.

neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.

and you shall say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!

He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.

But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel gave no heed to Me.
