OBEY MY VOICE
But this command I gave them, "Obey my voice, and I will be your God, you shall be my people;
walk only in the way that I command you, so that it may be well with you."
Yet they did not or incline their ear, but, stubbornness of evil will, walked
on their own counsels, looked backward rather than forward.
From the day that your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until this
day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after
day; yet they did not listen to me, or pay attention, but they stiffened their
necks. They did worse than their ancestors did. So you shall speak all these
words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but
they will not answer you. You shall say to them: This is the nation that
did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept discipline;
truth has perished it is cut off from their lips.
