爾猶不悛、所行逆我、

爾猶不順受譴責、所行逆我、

至此爾猶不受責服我、仍逆我以行、

“‘ If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me,

“‘ After all those things, suppose you still do not accept my warnings. And suppose you continue to be my enemy.

“ And if by this discipline you are not turned to me but walk contrary to me,

“ And if you fail to learn the lesson and continue your hostility toward me,

‘ And if by these things you do not learn your lesson regarding Me, but you show hostility toward Me,

‘ And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

And if by these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me;

“ If in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but act with hostility toward Me,

And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

“‘ If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary to me,

LORD, don’t your eyes look for faithfulness? You have struck them, but they felt no pain. You finished them off, but they refused to accept discipline. They made their faces harder than rock, and they refused to return.

I have struck down your children in vain; they would not accept discipline. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a ravaging lion.

I gave you absolutely nothing to eat in all your cities, a shortage of food in all your communities, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water but were not satisfied, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I struck you with blight and mildew; the locust devoured your many gardens and vineyards, your fig trees and olive trees, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I sent plagues like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I caused the stench of your camp to fill your nostrils, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick snatched from a fire, yet you did not return to me— This is the LORD’s declaration.Therefore, Israel, that is what I will do to you, and since I will do that to you, Israel, prepare to meet your God!

“ Wash yourselves. Cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from my sight. Stop doing evil.Learn to do what is good. Pursue justice. Correct the oppressor. Defend the rights of the fatherless. Plead the widow’s cause.“ Come, let’s settle this,” says the LORD.“ Though your sins are scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are crimson red, they will be like wool.If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

“ If you act with hostility toward me and are unwilling to obey me, I will multiply your plagues seven times for your sins.

Because of the depravity of your uncleanness— since I tried to purify you, but you would not be purified from your uncleanness— you will not be pure again until I have satisfied my wrath on you.I, the LORD, have spoken. It is coming, and I will do it! I will not refrain, I will not show pity, and I will not relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”
