³ So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to ^(A)humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may ^(B)serve Me.

⁶ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

^10 (A)Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

²⁹ “See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he ^(A)has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. ^(B)In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house.”

²⁷ because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the ^(A)Lord.

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For ^(A)if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

⁴ Or do you despise ^(A)the riches of His goodness, ^(B)forbearance, and ^(C)longsuffering, ^(D)not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

⁶ She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.’

¹⁰ This evil people, who ^(A)refuse to hear My words, who ^(B)follow^[a] the dictates of their hearts, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing.
