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

“ If in spite of these things you do not accept my discipline, but act with 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;

O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth? You have struck them down, but they felt no anguish; you have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent.

In vain have I struck your children; they took no correction; your own sword devoured your prophets like a ravening lion.

“ I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places, yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.“ I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain on one city, and send no rain on another city; one field would have rain, and the field on which it did not rain would wither;so two or three cities would wander to another city to drink water, and would not be satisfied; yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.“ I struck you with blight and mildew; your many gardens and your vineyards, your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured; yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.“ I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, and carried away your horses, and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils; yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.“ I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.“ Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.“ Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

“ Then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me, I will continue striking you, sevenfold for your sins.

On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you.I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”
