¹³ Still, the Lord warned^(A) Israel and Judah through every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commands and statutes according to the whole law I commanded your ancestors and sent to you through my servants the prophets.”^(B)

¹⁰ The Lord said through his servants the prophets,

² The Lord sent Chaldean, Aramean,^(A) Moabite,^(B) and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim. He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord he had spoken through his servants the prophets.^(C)

²⁵ Since the day your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until today, I have sent all my servants the prophets^(A) to you time and time again.^[a](B)

⁵ and by listening to the words of my servants the prophets^(A)—whom I have been sending to you time and time again,^[a](B) though you did not listen—

¹⁹ I will do this because they have not listened to my words”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“the words that I sent to them with my servants the prophets time and time again.^[a](A) And you too have not listened.” This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹⁵ Time and time again^[a] I have sent you all my servants the prophets, proclaiming, “Turn, each one from his evil way,^(A) and correct your actions. Stop following other gods to serve them.^(B) Live in the land that I gave you and your ancestors.” But you did not pay attention or obey me.^(C)

⁴ So I sent you all my servants the prophets time and time again,^[a](A) saying, ‘Don’t commit this detestable action that I hate.’

¹⁷ “‘This is what the Lord God says: Are you the one I spoke about in former times through my servants, the prophets of Israel, who for years prophesied in those times that I would bring you against them?

⁶ We have not listened to your servants the prophets,^(A) who spoke in your name to our kings, leaders, ancestors, and all the people of the land.
