And now, because you have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but you hearkened not to Me; and I called you, but you answered not.

From the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day, and I sent to you all My servants the prophets, by day and early in the morning. Yes, I have sent [them],

[This translation omits this verse.]

In the thirteenth year of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah, even until this day for twenty-three years, I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking,

and I sent to you My servants the prophets, sending them early; (but you would not listen, nor incline your ear to hear) saying,

to hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I sent to you early in the morning; yes, I sent them, but you hearkened not to Me;

[This translation omits this verse.]

And they turned their backs to Me, and not their faces; though I taught them early in the morning, but they listened no more to receive instructions,

And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of His prophets; rising early and sending His messengers, for He had compassion on His people, and His sanctuary.

Nevertheless they sneered at His messengers, and despised His words, and mocked His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against His people, till there was no remedy.

Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.

So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and have become subject to reproofs.

Since I called, and you did not hear, and I spoke at length, and you gave no heed;

therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.

For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.

But they hearkened not to Me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

but they hearkened not to Me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.

But they turned, and revolted from You, and cast Your law behind their backs; and they killed Your prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to You, and they worked great provocations.

Yet You had patience with them for many years, and testified to them by Your Spirit by the hand of Your prophets: but they hearkened not; so You gave them into the hand of the nations of the land.

For the people are disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God;

Why did I come, and there was no man? [Why] did I call, and there was none to hearken? Is not My hand strong to redeem? Or can I not deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die of thirst.
