'Correction' in the Bible

"It did no good for me to punish your people. They did not respond to such correction. You slaughtered your prophets like a voracious lion."

So tell them: 'This is a nation that has not obeyed the Lord their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore.

They have turned away from me instead of turning to me. I tried over and over again to instruct them, but they did not listen and respond to correction.
