4  I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I ^bcalled, 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.

  2  Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I ^acalled, yea, there was none to answer. O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make their rivers a wilderness and their fish to stink because the waters are dried up, and they die because of thirst.

  37  O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep having no shepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath ^ecalled after you and is still calling after you, but ye will not hearken unto his voice!
