²⁵ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have ^(A)sent you all My slaves the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. ²⁶ Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but ^(B)stiffened their neck; they ^(C)did more evil than their fathers.

¹¹ Then you are to say to them, ‘It is ^(A)because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and have walked after ^(B)other gods and served them and worshiped them; but Me they have forsaken and have not kept My law. ¹² You too have done evil, even ^(C)more than your fathers; for behold, you are each one walking according to the ^(D)stubbornness of his own ^(E)evil heart, without listening to Me.
