¹³ And now, because you have done all these works,” says the Lord, “and I spoke to you, ^(A)rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I ^(B)called you, but you did not answer,

⁷ For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, ^(A)rising early and exhorting, saying, “Obey My voice.”

^8 (A)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but ^(B)everyone ^[a]followed the dictates of his evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they have not done.’ ”

¹⁰ They have turned back to ^(A)the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear My words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.”
