Psalms 81:8-12

8 ^aHear, O my people, while I admonish you!
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9 There shall be no ^bstrange god among you;
you shall not bow down to a ^cforeign god.
10 ^dI am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
^eOpen your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel ^fwould not submit to me.
12 So I ^ggave them over to their ^hstubborn hearts,
to follow their own ⁱcounsels.

Proverbs 1:24-28

24 ^jBecause I have called and ^kyou refused to listen,
have ^lstretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have ^mignored all my counsel
and ⁿwould have none of my reproof,
26 I also ^owill laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when ^pterror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like ^qa storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 ^rThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

Isaiah 50:2

2 ^sWhy, when I came, was there no man;
why, when I called, was there no one to answer?
^tIs my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
^uBehold, by my rebuke ^vI dry up the sea,
^wI make the rivers a desert;
^xtheir fish stink for lack of water
and die of thirst.

Jeremiah 6:16-17

16 Thus says the Lord:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for ^ythe ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
^zand find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 ^aaI set watchmen over you, saying,
‘Pay attention to ^abthe sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ^ac‘We will not pay attention.’

Luke 13:34-35

34 ^adO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^aekills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! ^afHow often would I have ^aggathered ^ahyour children together ^aias a hen gathers her brood ^ajunder her wings, and ^akyou were not willing! 35 Behold, ^alyour house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ^am‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
