Moi aussi, je me complairai dans leur infortune, Et je ferai venir sur eux ce qui cause leur effroi, Parce que j'ai appelé, et qu'ils n'ont point répondu, Parce que j'ai parlé, et qu'ils n'ont point écouté; Mais ils ont fait ce qui est mal à mes yeux, Et ils ont choisi ce qui me déplaît.
Que signifie ce verset ?

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.'
Contexte historique
