So habe auch ich für sie gewählt: Ich lasse Unheil über sie hereinbrechen. All das, wovor ihnen graut, soll sie nun treffen. Denn als ich sie rief, hat mir keiner geantwortet. Ich habe mit ihnen geredet, doch niemand hat mir zugehört. Lieber haben sie getan, was ich hasse, und sich für das entschieden, was ich verabscheue.«
Was bedeutet das?

Imagine you invite your friend to play but they ignore you and play with toys they made up. This verse is like God saying, 'Since you chose to play with your own make-believe games instead of playing with me, I'll let you deal with the problems that come from those games.'
Historischer Hintergrund
Isaiah, a prophet, wrote this verse around 700 BCE to the people of Israel. He spoke to them during a time of societal decline, reminding them of God's calls and their lack of response.
