8 the Lord sent a prophet to the people of Israel. And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ^lI led you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of slavery.

15 Therefore the Lord was angry with Amaziah and sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of a people who did not deliver their own people from your hand?”

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.

4 You have neither ^olistened nor inclined your ears to hear, although the Lord persistently sent to you all his servants the prophets,

5 and to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you ^qurgently, though you have not listened,

9 As for the prophet who prophesies peace, ^xwhen the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.”

19 because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the Lord, that I ^vpersistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the Lord.’

15 I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them persistently, saying, ‘Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and ^samend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to you and your fathers.’ But you did not ^tincline your ear or listen to me.

4 Yet I ⁿpersistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’

The People Obey the Lord

12 Then ^mZerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord.

5 “Behold, ^hI will send you Elijah the prophet before the ⁱgreat and awesome day of the Lord comes.
