Exegesis
The negative existential ve-ein {וְאֵ֣ין | wǝ’ên} ‘and there is not’ coupled with the Hiphil participle makshiv {מַקְשִׁיב | makšîḇ} ‘one listening’ emphasizes a sustained absence of response. English translation preserves the parallelism and contrasts between divine initiative and human refusal by mirroring Hebrew clause structures.
In context — Proverbs 1:24
Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand, and there was no one who listened .
