“ The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,‘ Listen! I am going to punish this city and all the villages around it. I am going to bring against them all the trouble I have announced. That’s because my people were stubborn. They would not listen to what I said.’ ”

“万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说：我必使我所说的一切灾祸临到这城和属城的一切城邑，因为他们硬着颈项不听我的话。”

“万军之耶和华—以色列的上帝如此说：‘看哪，我必使我所说的一切灾祸临到这城和属它的城镇，因为他们硬着颈项不听我的话。’”

“万军之耶和华—以色列的神如此说：‘看哪，我必使我所说的一切灾祸临到这城和属它的城镇，因为他们硬着颈项不听我的话。’”

“以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说，‘看啊，我要把我说过的灾祸降在这城及其周围的村庄，因为他们顽固不化，不肯听我的话。’”

“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说：‘看哪！我必使我宣告攻击这城的一切灾祸，临到这城和她附近的一切城镇，因为他们硬着颈项，不听从我的话。’”

「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的神如此說：我必使我所說的一切災禍臨到這城和屬城的一切城邑，因為他們硬着頸項不聽我的話。」

「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：『看哪，我必使我所說的一切災禍臨到這城和屬它的城鎮，因為他們硬着頸項不聽我的話。』」

「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的神如此說：『看哪，我必使我所說的一切災禍臨到這城和屬它的城鎮，因為他們硬着頸項不聽我的話。』」

「以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說，『看啊，我要把我說過的災禍降在這城及其周圍的村莊，因為他們頑固不化，不肯聽我的話。』」

『萬軍之永恆主以色列之上帝這麼說：我必將我所說要責罰它的一切災禍降於這城、和屬它的一切城市，因為他們硬着脖子，不聽我的話。』

萬軍之耶和華、以色列之上帝云、我必降所言之災於是邑、及其屬邑、蓋彼強項、不聽我言也、

萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、斯邑及四周之民、強項不從我言、故所言之災、必降其身。

萬有之主以色列之天主如是云、我所言之諸災、必降於此邑、及屬之之諸邑、因民強項、不聽我言、

“ This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:‘ Listen! I am going to bring on this city and all the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff- necked and would not listen to my words.’”

“ Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their neck, refusing to hear my words.”

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ I will bring disaster upon this city and its surrounding towns as I promised, because you have stubbornly refused to listen to me.’”

“ This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ I am about to bring on this city— and on all its cities— every disaster that I spoke against it, for they have become obstinate, not obeying my words.’”

“ This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says:‘ Behold, I am going to bring on this city and all its towns the entire disaster that I have declared against it, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to listen to My words.’ ”

“ Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:‘ Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the doom that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their necks that they might not hear My words.’”

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.

“ This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:‘ I am about to bring on this city— and on all its dependent villages— all the disaster that I spoke against it, for they have become obstinate, not obeying My words.’”

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

“ The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says,‘ I will soon bring on this city and all the towns surrounding it all the disaster I threatened to do to it. I will do so because they have stubbornly refused to pay any attention to what I have said!’”

“ Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says,‘ Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”

But they did not listen. They did not pay any attention to me. They were stubborn. They would not listen or pay attention when I corrected them.

But your people of long ago did not listen. They refused to pay any attention to me. They were stubborn. They did more evil things than their people who lived before them.

“ You warned them so that they would obey your law again. But they became proud. They didn’t obey your commands. They sinned against your rules. You said,‘ Anyone who obeys my rules will live by them.’ But the people didn’t care about that. They turned their backs on you. They became very stubborn. They refused to listen to you.

They refused to listen to you. They forgot the miracles you had done among them. So they became stubborn. When they refused to obey you, they appointed a leader for themselves. They wanted to go back to being slaves in Egypt. But you are a God who forgives. You are gracious. You are tender and kind. You are slow to get angry. You are full of love. So you didn’t desert them.

But God’s people made fun of his messengers. They hated his words. They laughed at his prophets. Finally the Lord’ s great anger was stirred up against his people. Nothing could save them.The Lord brought the king of the Babylonians against them. The Babylonian army killed their young people with their swords at the temple. They didn’t spare young men or young women. They didn’t spare the old people or weak people either. God handed all of them over to Nebuchadnezzar.

Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said,‘ Each of you must turn from your evil ways. You must change the way you act. Do not worship other gods. Do not serve them. Then you will live in the land. I gave it to you and your people of long ago.’ But you have not paid any attention. You have not listened to me.The children of Jehonadab, the son of Rekab, have obeyed the command Jehonadab gave them long ago. But the people of Judah have not obeyed me.” ’ ”So the Lord God who rules over all speaks. The God of Israel says,“ Listen! I am going to bring horrible trouble on Judah. I will also bring it on everyone who lives in Jerusalem. I will bring on them every trouble I said I would. I spoke to them. But they did not listen. I called out to them. But they did not answer.”

But they refused to pay attention to the Lord. They were stubborn. They turned their backs and covered their ears.They made their hearts as hard as the hardest stone. They wouldn’t listen to the law. They wouldn’t pay attention to the Lord’ s messages. So the Lord who rules over all was very angry. After all, his Spirit had spoken to his people through the earlier prophets.“ When I called, they did not listen,” says the Lord.“ So when they called, I would not listen.I used a windstorm to scatter them among all the nations. They were strangers there. The land they left behind became dry and empty. No one could even travel through it. This is how they turned the pleasant land into a dry and empty desert.”

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!Was there ever a prophet your people didn’t try to hurt? They even killed those who told about the coming of the Blameless One. And now you have handed him over to his enemies. You have murdered him.

No, in your hearts you plan to be unfair. With your hands you do terrible things on the earth.Even from birth those who are evil go down the wrong path. From the day they are born they go the wrong way and spread lies.Their words are like the poison of a snake. They are like the poison of a cobra that has covered up its ears.It won’t listen to a snake charmer’s tune, even if the charmer plays very well.
