Proverbs 1:24-28

24 ^aBecause I have called and ^byou refused to listen,
have ^cstretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have ^dignored all my counsel
and ^ewould have none of my reproof,
26 I also ^fwill laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when ^gterror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like ^ha storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 ⁱThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

Isaiah 58:2-4

2 ^rYet they seek me daily
and delight to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that did righteousness
and did not forsake the judgment of their God;
they ask of me righteous judgments;

3 ^s‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, ^{▼▼Or pursue your own business}
^uand oppress all your workers.
4 Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight
and to hit with a wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.

Ezekiel 33:31

31 ^vAnd they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for ^wwith lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain.
