²⁴ But since you refuse^(A) to listen when I call^(B)
    and no one pays attention^(C) when I stretch out my hand,
²⁵ since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,

²⁸ I look but there is no one^(A)—
    no one among the gods to give counsel,^(B)
    no one to give answer^(C) when I ask them.

⁴ so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
    and will bring on them what they dread.^(A)
For when I called, no one answered,^(B)
    when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil^(C) in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”^(D)
