New King James Version
13 (A)Only acknowledge your iniquity,
That you have transgressed against the Lord your God,
And have (B)scattered your [a]charms
To (C)alien deities (D)under every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says the Lord.

New King James Version
23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, (A)‘Obey My voice, and (B)I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ 24 (C)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but (D)followed[a] the counsels and the [b]dictates of their evil hearts, and (E)went[c] backward and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even (F)sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. 26 (G)Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but (H)stiffened their neck. (I)They did worse than their fathers.
27 “Therefore (J)you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.
