⁴ The Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you over and over again, but you have not listened or paid any attention to them. ⁵ Those prophets have said, “Stop your evil ways. Stop doing what is wrong so you can stay in the land that the Lord gave to you and your ancestors to live in forever. ⁶ Don’t follow other gods to serve them or to worship them. Don’t make me, the Lord, angry by worshiping idols that are the work of your own hands, or I will punish you.”
