²⁴ Yet they ^(A)did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and ^[a](B)went backward and not forward.

¹⁴ but have ^(A)walked after the stubbornness of their heart and after the ^(B)Baals, as their ^(C)fathers taught them,”

¹⁵ Also I have sent to you all My ^(A)servants the prophets, sending them ^[a]again and again, saying: ‘^(B)Turn now every man from his evil way and amend your deeds, and ^(C)do not go after other gods to worship them. Then you will ^(D)dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not ^(E)inclined your ear or listened to Me.

⁸ But they ^(A)rebelled against Me and were not willing to listen to Me; ^[a]they did not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, nor did they forsake the ^(B)idols of Egypt.

Then I ^[b]resolved to ^(C)pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
