16 “As for you, ^odo not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you.

24 But ^ythey did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the ^zstubbornness of their evil hearts, and went ^abackward and not forward.

26 ^bYet ^cthey did not listen to me or incline their ear, but ^dstiffened their neck. ^eThey did worse than their fathers.
