¹⁵ Also I have sent to you all My ^(A)servants the prophets, sending them again and again, saying: ‘^(B)Turn now every person from his evil way and amend your deeds, and ^(C)do not follow other gods to worship them. Then you will ^(D)live 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.

⁴ “Do not be ^(A)like your fathers, to whom the ^(B)former prophets proclaimed, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “^(C)Return now from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.”’ But they did ^(D)not listen or pay attention to Me,” declares the Lord.
