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.

But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their ancestors.’

Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

But my people have not listened to me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful— even worse than their ancestors.

However, my people wouldn’t listen to me or pay attention but became obstinate; they did more evil than their ancestors.

Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did more evil than their fathers.

Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers.

However, they wouldn’t listen to Me or pay attention but became obstinate; they did more evil than their ancestors.

Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

But your ancestors did not listen to me nor pay attention to me. They became obstinate and were more wicked than even their own forefathers.’”

Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.

But you have done more evil things than they did. All of you are doing what your stubborn and evil hearts want you to do. You are not obeying me.

Don’t be stubborn. Don’t be as your people were. Obey the Lord. Come to his temple. He has set it apart to himself forever. Serve the Lord your God. Then he’ll stop being angry with you.

So go ahead and finish the sins that those who lived before you started!

“ 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.’ ”

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 they did not listen. They refused to pay any attention to me. Instead, they did what their stubborn and evil hearts wanted them to do. They went backward and not forward.

But the people wouldn’t listen. They were as stubborn as their people of long ago had been. Those people didn’t trust in the Lord their God.

“‘ But you did not listen to me,’ announces the Lord.‘ You have made me very angry with the gods your hands have made. And you have brought harm on yourselves.’

“ But the renters saw the son coming. They said to one another,‘ This is the one who will receive all the owner’s property someday. Come, let’s kill him. Then everything will be ours.’

We haven’t listened to your servants the prophets. They spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our people of long ago. They also brought your message to all our people in the land.

I appointed prophets to warn you. I said,‘ Listen to the sound of the trumpets!’ But you said,‘ We won’t listen.’

And listen to the words my servants the prophets are speaking. I have sent them to you again and again. But you have not listened to them.

The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people. But they didn’t pay any attention to him.

“ We won’t listen to the message you have spoken to us in the Lord’ s name!

But you are stubborn. In your heart you are not sorry for your sins. You are storing up anger against yourself. The day of God’s anger is coming. Then his way of judging fairly will be shown.

“ 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.

“ 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!

“ But our people before us became proud and stubborn. They didn’t obey your commands.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.

That’s because they have not listened to my words,” announces the Lord.“ I sent messages to them again and again. I sent them through my servants the prophets. And you who were taken to Babylon have not listened either,” announces the Lord.

But they did not listen. They did not pay any attention to me. Instead, they did what their stubborn and evil hearts wanted them to do. So I brought down on them all the curses of the covenant. I commanded them to obey it. But they refused.’ ”

Whoever still won’t obey after being warned many times will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save them.

“ For 23 years the Lord’ s messages have been coming to me. They began to come in the 13th year that Josiah was king of Judah. He was the son of Amon. The Lord’ s messages still come to me today. I’ve spoken to you people again and again. But you haven’t listened to me.

I knew how stubborn you were. Your neck muscles were as unbending as iron. Your forehead was as hard as bronze.

‘ Every seventh year you must set your people free. Each of you must set free all the Hebrews who have sold themselves to you. Let them serve you for six years. Then you must let them go free.’( Deuteronomy 15:12) But your people of long ago did not listen to me. They did not pay any attention to me.
