²⁴ Because ^(A)I called and you ^(B)refused,
I ^(C)stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
²⁵ And you ^(D)neglected all my advice
And did not ^(E)want my rebuke;
²⁶ I will also ^(F)laugh at your ^(G)disaster;
I will mock when your ^(H)dread comes,
²⁷ When your dread comes like a storm
And your disaster comes like a ^(I)whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
²⁸ Then they will ^(J)call on me, but I will not answer;
They will ^(K)seek me diligently but will not find me,

¹⁵ So when you ^(A)spread out your hands in prayer,
^(B)I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you ^(C)offer many prayers,
I will not be listening.
^(D)Your hands are ^[a]covered with blood.
