“The Lord hath _made_ all things for himself, even the wicked _for_
the day of evil; and they shall call them the border of wickedness,
the _people_ against whom the Lord hath indignation for _ever_.—But
Esau have I hated; the _abhorred_ of the Lord shall fall into it;
their souls abhorred me and my soul also _abhorred_ them.—Reprobate
silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath _rejected_ them.—I
will profess unto you I _never_ knew you.—A stone of stumbling, a
rock of offence to both the houses of Israel for a gin and a snare,
and many among them _shall_ stumble and fall and be _broken_, and
_snared_ and _taken_.—Behold this child is set _for_ the fall of many
in Israel.—I thank thee, oh Father, that thou hast _hid_ these things
_from_ the wise and prudent.—Not _many_ rich are _called_.—But the
wicked _shall_ do wickedly, and _shall not_ understand.—To the one we
are a savour of death unto death.—Whosoever hath not, from him shall
be _taken_ that which he seemeth to have.—But ye believe not because
ye are _not_ of my sheep.—To them it is _not_ given, the world
_cannot_ receive, the natural man _cannot_ discern.—_No_ man _can_
come to me to me except the Father draw him.—For when he would have
inherited the blessing he was rejected.—For there are certain men
crept in unawares who were before of old _ordained_ to this
condemnation.—_I_ also will choose their delusions—And many false
prophets _shall_ arise and deceive many.—For it is a people of no
understanding; therefore he that made them will _not_ have mercy upon
them, and he that formed them will shew them _no_ favour.—They which
are the children of the flesh are _not_ the children of God.—But
because ye are not of the _world_, therefore the _world_ hateth you.
Behold ye despisers, and wonder and perish. I will work a work in
which you _shall in no wise believe_.—You shall _not_ believe, ye
shall seek me and shall _not_ find me.—And if the prophet be
deceived, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will destroy
him.—So then it is not of him that _willeth_, nor of him that
_runneth_.—For judgment I am come into this world that those which
see _might_ be made blind.—_Make_ the heart of this people gross, and
_make_ their ears heavy lest they see, hear, understand, convert and
be healed.—And for this cause _God shall_ send them strong delusions
that they _should_ believe a lie, that they _all may_ be damned who
believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.—Evil men
and seducers _shall_ wax worse and worse.—It shall be a bridle in the
jaws of the people, _causing_ them to err.—They perish for ever,
without _any_ regarding it.—Ye shall seek me, and _shall_ die in your
sins.—Many are called, but _few_ chosen.—He that is unjust, _let_ him
be unjust still; and he that is filthy, _let_ him be filthy
