4So I will choose their punishment,

and I will bring on them what they dread

because I called and no one answered;

I spoke and they did not listen;

they did what was evil in my sight

and chose what I did not delight in.r

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I also will choose harsh treatment for them

and bring their fears upon them,

because when I called, no one answered,

when I spoke, they did not listen;

but they did what was evil in my eyes

and chose that in which I did not delight.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

so I also will choose harsh treatment for them

and will bring on them what they dread.

For when I called, no one answered,

when I spoke, no one listened.

They did evil in my sight

and chose what displeases me.”

NLTNew Living Translation

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.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Indeed, I myself I will choose their ill treatment,

and I will bring them objects of their dread,

because I called, and no one answered;

I spoke and they did not listen,

but they did the evil in my eyes,

and they chose that in which I do not delight.”

KJV 1900King James Version

I also will choose their delusions,

And will bring their fears upon them;

Because when I called, none did answer;

When I spake, they did not hear:

But they did evil before mine eyes,

And chose that in which I delighted not.
