ሌሎችን ልሳኖች በሚናገሩ ሰዎችና በሌላ አንደበት ለዚህ ሕዝብ እነግራቸዋለሁ፥ እንዲህም ቢሆን አይሰሙኝም ይላል ጌታ ተብሎ በሕግ ተጽፎአል።

What Does This Mean?

This verse from the Bible says that God will speak to people in different languages, but even then, they won't listen to him. The speaker is God, and the key message is about how people often ignore divine messages.

Explained for Children

Imagine if your mom or dad spoke to you in a language you didn't understand, thinking it would make you pay more attention. But even when they do that, you still don’t really listen. This verse is like that, but with God talking to everyone.

Historical Background

The Apostle Paul wrote this part of the Bible around 53-54 AD in Corinth, a Greek city where there were many different languages and cultures. He was addressing issues within the church community about speaking in tongues or other languages during worship services.

Living It Out Today

Today, we can relate this to situations where someone tries to communicate an important message through various means but finds that their audience is still not listening. For example, a parent trying different methods to get their teenager's attention regarding responsible behavior.
