They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

Commentary
They would none of my counsel,.... Neither his doctrines nor his ordinances; nor would they attend to the wholesome counsel and advice he gave them in his sermons upon the mount, and in other discourses of his at other times and places;
they despised all my reproof; for their hypocrisy, uncleanness, covetousness, and other sins they were addicted to; see
Mat 23:1
; but they "derided" him for it,
Luk 16:14
; where the same word is used as is by the Septuagint here. These things are repeated from
Pro 1:25
, to observe their ingratitude, and how just was their ruin, and what the true cause of it.
