¹³ And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, and ^(A)when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and ^(B)when I called you, you did not answer,

⁷ For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, ^(A)warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, ^(B)Obey my voice. ^8 (C)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, ^(D)but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all ^(E)the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”

^5 (A)and to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you ^(B)urgently, ^(C)though you have not listened,

¹⁹ because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the Lord, ^(A)that I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the Lord.’
