Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
Ibn Ezra
I also will choose, etc. בתעלוליהם Their charges. Comp. עלילות charges (Deut. 22:17), their charges are the charges brought against them. It may also be rendered their delusions; comp. ויתעללו and they abused (Judg. 19:25); התעולל he mocked (1 Sam. 6:6). מגורתם Their fears. Comp. ויגר and was afraid (Num. 22:3)
