Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Return to Him from whom you have so deeply defected, O sons of Israel.

“You have not heard, you have not known;
Even from long ago your ear has not been open.
For I [the Lord] knew that you [Israel] would act very treacherously;
You have been called a transgressor and a rebel from birth.

In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
