²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

³⁰ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

¹¹ But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

³⁰ They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

¹² And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

¹¹ Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

¹⁶ But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
