Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12 And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own ways, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart. 13 Therefore so says Jehovah, Ask now among the nations; who has heard the like of this?
