Lord, and I have spoken to you over and over again.
But you have not listened! You have refused to respond when I called you to repent!

did not listen to me nor pay attention to me. They became obstinate

Proverbs 1:24-31
1:24 However, because I called but you refused to listen,
because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention,
1:25 because you neglected all my advice,
and did not comply with my rebuke,
1:26 so I myself will laugh when disaster strikes you,
I will mock when what you dread comes,
1:27 when what you dread comes like a whirlwind,
and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm,
when distressing trouble comes on you.
1:28 Then they will call to me, but I will not answer;
they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.
1:29 Because they hated moral knowledge,
and did not choose to fear the Lord,
1:30 they did not comply with my advice,
they spurned all my rebuke.
1:31 Therefore they will eat from the fruit of their way,
and they will be stuffed full of their own counsel.

Isaiah 50:2
50:2 Why does no one challenge me when I come?
Why does no one respond when I call?

Do I lack the power to rescue you?
Look, with a mere shout I can dry up the sea;
I can turn streams into a desert,
so the fish rot away and die
from lack of water.
Isaiah 65:12
65:12 I predestine you to die by the sword,
all of you will kneel down at the slaughtering block,
because I called to you, and you did not respond,
I spoke and you did not listen.
You did evil before me;
you chose to do what displeases me.”
Isaiah 66:4
66:4 So I will choose severe punishment for them;
I will bring on them what they dread,
because I called, and no one responded,
I spoke and they did not listen.
They did evil before me;
they chose to do what displeases me.”
Luke 13:34-35
13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you!
How often I have longed
to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but
you would have none of it!
13:35 Look, your house is forsaken!
And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
Romans 10:21

All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!”
