I sent them to you again and again. ²⁶ But your ancestors did not listen to me. They did not pay attention to me. They were very stubborn and did evil even worse than their fathers did.

²⁷ “Jeremiah, you will tell these things to the people of Judah. But they will not listen to you. You call to them, but they will not answer you.
