“ I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.

我呼唤，你们不肯听从；我伸手，无人理会；

因为我呼唤，你们不听，我招手，无人理会。

因为我呼唤，你们不听，我招手，无人理会。

我呼唤你们，你们却充耳不闻；我向你们招手，你们却视若无睹。

我呼唤，你们不肯听从；我伸手，没有人理会。

既然我呼唤了，你们拒绝，我伸出了手，没有人留心，

我呼喚，你們不肯聽從；我伸手，無人理會；

因為我呼喚，你們不聽，我招手，無人理會。

因為我呼喚，你們不聽，我招手，無人理會。

我呼喚你們，你們卻充耳不聞；我向你們招手，你們卻視若無睹。

我呼喚，你們不肯聽從；我伸手，沒有人理會。

我呼喚，你們既不肯聽，我伸手，既無人理會，

既然我呼喚了，你們拒絕，我伸出了手，沒有人留心，

我召爾、爾弗從、我伸手、莫之顧、

余招爾、爾弗聽、余舉手、爾弗答、

我呼爾、爾不聽、我舉手、人不以為意、

But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,

But you refuse to listen when I call out to you. No one pays attention when I reach out my hand.

Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,

Since I called out and you refused, extended my hand and no one paid attention,

Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,

Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded;

Since I called out and you refused, extended my hand and no one paid attention,

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

However, because I called but you refused to listen, because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention,

Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

now I will‘ destine’ you for the sword. All of you will bow down before the executioner. For when I called, you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not listen. You deliberately sinned— before my very eyes— and chose to do what you know I despise.”

But regarding Israel, God said,“ All day long I opened my arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious.”

While you were doing these wicked things, says the Lord, I spoke to you about it repeatedly, but you would not listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer.

I will send them great trouble— all the things they feared. For when I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen. They deliberately sinned before my very eyes and chose to do what they know I despise.”

Therefore, I will respond in fury. I will neither pity nor spare them. And though they cry for mercy, I will not listen.”

Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise:“ Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.”

Why was no one there when I came? Why didn’t anyone answer when I called? Is it because I have no power to rescue? No, that is not the reason! For I can speak to the sea and make it dry up! I can turn rivers into deserts covered with dying fish.

But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business.Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.And now, look, your house is abandoned and desolate.

“ Your ancestors refused to listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their fingers in their ears to keep from hearing.They made their hearts as hard as stone, so they could not hear the instructions or the messages that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had sent them by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. That is why the Lord of Heaven’s Armies was so angry with them.

You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.

Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
