4 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.”

4 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.

4 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.”

4 So will I choose their delusions,

And bring their fears on them;

Because, when I called, no one answered,

When I spoke they did not hear;

But they did evil before My eyes,

And chose that in which I do not delight.”

4 So I will choose their punishments,

and I will punish them with what they fear most.

This is because I called to them, but they did not listen.

I spoke to them, but they did not hear me.

They did things I said were evil;

they chose to do things I did not like.”

4 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 that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.

4 I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.

4 So I will choose harsh treatment for them 

and bring on them what they fear. 

I called, but no one answered. 

I spoke, but they didn’t listen. 

They did what I consider evil. 

They chose what I don’t like. 

4 So 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 didn’t hear;

they did what was evil in My sight

and chose what I didn’t delight in.

4 I also will choose to mock them,

and bring upon them what they fear;

because, when I called, no one answered,

when I spoke, they did not listen;

but they did what was evil in my sight,

and chose what did not please me.

4 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.”

4 So I have also made a choice.

I will make them suffer greatly.

I will bring on them what they are afraid of.

When I called out to them, no one answered me.

When I spoke to them, no one listened.

They did what is evil in my sight.

They chose to do what displeases me.”

4 So I will choose their punishments

And will bring on them what they dread.

Because I called, but no one answered;

I spoke, but they did not listen.

And they did evil in My sight

And chose that in which I did not delight.”
