³⁰ Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Are you defiling yourselves in the manner of your ^(A)fathers, and committing harlotry according to their ^(B)abominations?

¹² And you have done ^(A)worse than your fathers, for behold, ^(B)each one ^[a]follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me.

^26 (A)Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but ^(B)stiffened their neck. ^(C)They did worse than their fathers.

¹⁹ And it came to pass, ^(A)when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

Israel Resists the Holy Spirit

⁵¹ “You ^(A)stiff-necked^[a] and ^(B)uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

^32 (A)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.

¹⁴ but they have ^(A)walked according to the ^[a]dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, ^(B)which their fathers taught them,”

¹⁴ And look! You have risen in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the ^(A)fierce anger of the Lord against Israel.
