³⁴ ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

²⁵ And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.

²⁶ I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,

²⁷ When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.

²⁸ Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

²⁹ Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

³⁰ They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,

³¹ And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

³ and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

³³ `Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say `it' now.

³⁴ `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

³⁵ in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

²¹ therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

²² The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'

²³ and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

²⁴ I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am `he', ye shall die in your sins.'

²² And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold `it';

²³ and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

³⁴ `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.

³⁵ `Lo, your house is being left to you desolate, and verily I say to you -- ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye may say, Blessed `is' he who is coming in the name of the Lord.'

²⁴ `Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

²⁵ from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are,

³⁹ for I say to you, ye may not see me henceforth, till ye may say, Blessed `is' he who is coming in the name of the Lord.'

⁶ With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.

²⁴ `Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.
