“ But, Jacob, you have not called on me, because, Israel, you have become weary of me.

“雅各啊，你并没有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。

“雅各啊，你并没有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。

“雅各啊，你并没有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。

“雅各啊，你却没有求告我；以色列啊，你竟然厌烦我。

然而，雅各啊！你并没有呼求我。以色列啊！你竟厌烦我。

“然而，雅各啊，你却没有呼求我；以色列啊，你竟然厌倦了我！

雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。

「雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。

「雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。

「雅各啊，你卻沒有求告我；以色列啊，你竟然厭煩我。

然而，雅各啊！你並沒有呼求我。以色列啊！你竟厭煩我。

『但雅各啊，你呼求的並不是我呀！以色列啊，你厭煩的倒是我呢！

「然而，雅各啊，你卻沒有呼求我；以色列啊，你竟然厭倦了我！

惟爾雅各、不呼籲我、以色列厭我、

惟雅各家以色列族、敬恪已弛、不肯上籲、

雅各乎、爾反不籲我、以色列乎、爾反不因我而勤勞、

“ Yet you have not called on me, Jacob, you have not wearied yourselves for me, Israel.

“ Family of Jacob, you have not prayed to me as you should. People of Israel, you have not worn yourselves out for me.

“ Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel!

“ But, dear family of Jacob, you refuse to ask for my help. You have grown tired of me, O Israel!

“ Yet you have not called on Me, Jacob; But you have become weary of Me, Israel.

“ But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; And you have been weary of Me, O Israel.

Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

“ But Jacob, you have not called on Me, because, Israel, you have become weary of Me.

But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

“ But you did not call for me, O Jacob; you did not long for me, O Israel.

Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

My people, what have I done to you, or how have I wearied you? Testify against me!

You have said,“ It is useless to serve God. What have we gained by keeping his requirements and walking mournfully before the LORD of Armies?

You also say,‘ Look, what a nuisance!’ And you scorn it,” says the LORD of Armies.“ You bring stolen, lame, or sick animals. You bring this as an offering! Am I to accept that from your hands?” asks the LORD.

You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and wage war. You do not have because you do not ask.You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t recognize you and on the families that don’t call on your name, for they have consumed Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off and made his homeland desolate.

No one calls on your name, striving to take hold of you. For you have hidden your face from us and made us melt because of our iniquity.

Will God hear his cry when distress comes on him?Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times?

Yet they say to God,“ Leave us alone! We don’t want to know your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him, and what will we gain by pleading with him?”

Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,

Israel, return to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled in your iniquity.Take words of repentance with you and return to the LORD. Say to him,“ Forgive all our iniquity and accept what is good, so that we may repay you with praise from our lips.

Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?( But they were not gods!) Yet my people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols.Be appalled at this, heavens; be shocked and utterly desolated! This is the LORD’s declaration.For my people have committed a double evil: They have abandoned me, the fountain of living water, and dug cisterns for themselves— cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.

Will evildoers never understand? They consume my people as they consume bread; they do not call on the LORD.

This is what the LORD says: What fault did your ancestors find in me that they went so far from me, followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves?

Evil generation, pay attention to the word of the LORD! Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do my people claim,“ We will go where we want; we will no longer come to you”?Can a young woman forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet my people have forgotten me for countless days.

From that moment many of his disciples turned back and no longer accompanied him.So Jesus said to the Twelve,“ You don’t want to go away too, do you?”Simon Peter answered,“ Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life.We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and paying attention to your truth.

Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God, and for all this, they do not seek him.So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove; they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.As they are going, I will spread my net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the sky. I will discipline them in accordance with the news that reaches their assembly.Woe to them, for they fled from me; destruction to them, for they rebelled against me! Though I want to redeem them, they speak lies against me.They do not cry to me from their hearts; rather, they wail on their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine; they turn away from me.
