And i spake

Since the day your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent all My servants the prophets to you time and time again.

For I strongly warned your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt until today, warning them time and time again,

‘Obey My voice.’

“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, until this very day—23 years—the word of the Lord has come to me, and I have spoken to you time and time again,

but you have not obeyed.

Time and time again I have sent you all My servants the prophets, proclaiming: Turn, each one from his evil way of life, and correct your actions. Stop following other gods to serve them. Live in the land that I gave you and your ancestors. But you would not pay attention or obey Me.

So I sent you all My servants the prophets time and time again, saying: Don’t do this detestable thing that I hate.

But Yahweh, the God of their ancestors sent word against them by the hand of His messengers, sending them time and time again, for He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.

You warned them to turn back to Your law,
but they acted arrogantly
and would not obey Your commands.
They sinned against Your ordinances,
which a person will live by if he does them.
They stubbornly resisted,
stiffened their necks, and would not obey.

And i called

Since I called out and you refused,
extended my hand and no one paid attention,

Why was no one there when I came?
Why was there no one to answer when I called?
Is My hand too short to redeem?
Or do I have no power to deliver?
Look, I dry up the sea by My rebuke;
I turn the rivers into a wilderness;
their fish rot because of lack of water
and die of thirst.

I will destine you for the sword,
and all of you will kneel down to be slaughtered,
because I called and you did not answer,
I spoke and you did not hear;
you did what was evil in My sight
and chose what I did not delight in.

So I will choose their punishment,
and I will bring on them what they dread
because I called and no one answered;
I spoke and they didn’t hear;
they did what was evil in My sight
and chose what I didn’t delight in.

The more they called them,

the more they departed from Me.
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
and burning offerings to idols.

Just as He had called, and they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen,” says the Lord of Hosts.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! She who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, yet you were not willing!

He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,
the tent where He resided among men.

I will do this because they have not listened to My words”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“that I sent to them with My servants the prophets time and time again.

And you too have not listened.” This is the Lord’s declaration.

See, your house is left to you desolate.
