¹⁹ But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No: but we will have a king over us,

¹⁶ As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we will not listen to you.

¹¹ But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

⁴ I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn't delight.

¹³ Now, because you have done all these works, says Yahweh, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn't hear; and I called you, but you didn't answer:

³¹ They come to you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
