25 From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day. 26 ^bYet ^cthey did not listen to me or incline their ear, but ^dstiffened their neck. ^eThey did worse than their fathers.

4 that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the ^xiron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God,

7 For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them ^zpersistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice. 8 Yet ^athey did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”

3 “For twenty-three years, ^mfrom the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, to this day, the word of the Lord has come to me, and I have spoken ⁿpersistently to you, but you have not listened. 4 You have neither ^olistened nor inclined your ears to hear, although the Lord persistently sent to you all his servants the prophets,

33 They have turned to me their ^hback and not their face. And though I have taught them ⁱpersistently, they have not listened to ^jreceive instruction.

4 Yet I ⁿpersistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’ 5 But they did not ^olisten or incline their ear, to turn from their evil and make no offerings to other gods.
