Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus says LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings, but they did not hear, nor hearken to me, says LORD.

Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

[Should ye] not [hear] the words which LORD cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?

And it has come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said LORD of hosts.
