And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by the hand of His messengers, rising early to send them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.

But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, to make the wrath of Jehovah swell up against His people, till there was no healing.

Yet Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by the hand of all of His prophets and every seer, saying, Turn away from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the Law which I have commanded your fathers, and which I have sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets.

And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they went after their vanities, became vain, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.

Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against You, cast Your Law behind their backs and killed Your prophets, who testified against them to turn them to Yourself; and they worked great blasphemies.

Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

Yet they did not listen to Me, nor extend their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

And Jehovah has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but you have not listened nor extended your ear to hear.

They said, Turn back now, each one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers forever and ever.

to listen to the words of My servants the prophets whom I sent to you, both rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened);

But I sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing which I hate!

But they did not heed, nor extend their ear to turn from their evil, to burn no incense to other gods.

Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required from this generation.

But he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.

Then He began to tell the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

And again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

Then the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him when they see him.

So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:

harden not your hearts, as in the strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness,

Give ear and hear my voice; listen, and hear my speech.

Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

Listen to Me, My people; and give ear to Me, O My nation; for a law shall go out from Me, and I will make My justice to rest for a light of the people.

Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

for the heart of this people has grown dull, their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, that they should not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart and convert, and I should heal them.

But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;
