²⁴ Since I called out and you refused,^(A)
extended my hand and no one paid attention,^(B)

¹² I will destine you for the sword,
and all of you will kneel down to be slaughtered,
because I called and you did not answer,
I spoke and you did not hear;
you did what was evil in my sight
and chose what I did not delight in.”^(A)
