You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: (D)If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you, (E)and to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you (F)urgently, (G)though you have not listened, then I will make this house (H)like Shiloh, and I will make this city (I)a curse for all the nations of the earth.’”

Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen(C) to me and follow my law,(D) which I have set before you, and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened(E)), then I will make this house like Shiloh(F) and this city a curse[a](G) among all the nations of the earth.’”
