Since I called, and you did not hear, and I spoke at length, and you gave no heed;

therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

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

If a man should at all sin against another, then shall they pray for him to the Lord; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intercede for him? But they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would by all means destroy them.

And this which shall come upon your two sons Hophni and Phineas shall be a sign to you: in one day they shall both die.

And Elijah the prophet, the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.

And Elijah said, I do not pervert Israel; but it is you and your father's house, in that you forsake the Lord your God, and you have gone after the Baals.

And he said to him, Thus says the Lord: Because you have allowed this man appointed to destruction to escape out of your hand, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.

And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he said, I have found [you]; because you have wickedly sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger;

And I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because of the provocations in which you have provoked [Me], and caused Israel to sin.

And the Lord said, Who will deceive Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Gilead? And one spoke one way, and another [spoke] another way.

And the Lord said to him, In what way? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall deceive him; yea, and you shall prevail: go forth, and do so.

And one drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breastplate. And he said to his charioteer, Turn your hands, and carry me away out of the battle, for I am wounded.

And the herald of the army stood at sunset, saying, Let every man go to his own city and his own land,

And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, Have I made you the king's counselor? Take heed lest you be scourged! And the prophet became silent, and said, I know that [God] is disposed against you to destroy you, because you have done this thing, and have not hearkened to my counsel.

And the Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they hearkened not.

And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of His prophets; rising early and sending His messengers, for He had compassion on His people, and His sanctuary.

In the thirteenth year of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah, even until this day for twenty-three years, I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking,

Turn, everyone of you, from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and you shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, forever and ever.

Perhaps they will listen, and turn from their evil ways; then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.

to hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I sent to you early in the morning; yes, I sent them, but you hearkened not to Me;

Thus says the Lord: Go, and say to the men of Judah, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will you not receive correction to hearken to My words?

And I sent to you My servants the prophets, saying, Turn, everyone from his evil way, and amend your practices, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers. But you have not inclined your ears, and you would not listen.

And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Almighty: Turn to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.

Where are your fathers, and the prophets? Will they live forever?

Now while they were eating, He said, "Assuredly I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl will betray Me.

Then Judas, the [one] betraying Him, answered and said, "[Surely] not I am [the one], Rabbi?" He said to him, "You have said [it]."

He answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

Now He was speaking [about] Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon, for he was intending to betray Him, though he was one of the twelve.

Jesus said to him, "He that is bathed need only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."

I do not speak concerning all of you. I know [those] whom I chose; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'

Jesus answered, "It is the [one] to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

(Now this man purchased a field by means of the wages of [his] unrighteousness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

"to receive the portion in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."

in that he rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, which he adjured him by God [not to do]; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.

And You testified against them, to bring them back to Your law; but they hearkened not, and sinned against Your commandments and Your judgments, which if a man does, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.

I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze.

But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers [did], so as not to hear Me, and not to receive correction.

Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly, overthrow and irretrievable ruin.

He that walks justly is assisted, but he that walks in crooked ways shall be entangled [therein].

therefore shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very close at hand.

And its fall shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that you should not find among them a sherd, with which you might take up fire, and with which you should draw a little water.

But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.

Therefore it came to pass, [that] as He spoke and they did not listen, so they shall cry, and I will not listen, says the Lord Almighty.

For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, just as labor pains upon the woman that is pregnant, and they shall by no means escape.
