²⁶ “^(A)But they became disobedient and rebelled against You,
And ^(B)cast Your law behind their backs
And ^(C)killed Your prophets who had ^(D)admonished them
So that they might return to You,
And ^(E)they committed great ^[a]blasphemies.

²⁹ And ^(A)admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law.
Yet ^(B)they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances,
By ^(C)which if a man observes them he shall live.
And they ^[a](D)turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
³⁰ “^(E)However, You bore with them for many years,
And ^(F)admonished them by ^(G)Your Spirit through Your prophets,
Yet they would not give ear.
Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
