¹³ Yet the ^(A)Lord warned Israel and Judah ^(B)through all His prophets and ^(C)every seer, saying, “^(D)Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.”

Judah Threatened with Invasion

¹⁵ Also I have sent to you all My ^(A)servants the prophets, sending them ^[a]again and again, saying: ‘^(B)Turn now every man from his evil way and amend your deeds, and ^(C)do not go after other gods to worship them. Then you will ^(D)dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not ^(E)inclined your ear or listened to Me.

³⁰ “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,” declares the Lord God. “^(A)Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you.

⁸ But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let ^[a]men ^(A)call on God earnestly that each may ^(B)turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in ^[b]his hands. ^9 (C)Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish.”

¹⁰ When God saw their deeds, that they ^(D)turned from their wicked way, then ^(E)God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would ^[c]bring upon them. And He did not do it.
