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.

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.

But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel gave no heed to Me.

If My people had hearkened to Me, if Israel had walked in My ways,

I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze.

And [so] we were filled with bread, and were well, and saw no evils.
