²⁵ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have ^(A)sent you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily, again and again. 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 forefathers have abandoned Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and have followed ^(B)other gods, and served and worshiped them; but they have abandoned Me and have not kept My Law. ¹² You too have done evil, even ^(C)more than your forefathers; for behold, each one of you is following the ^(D)stubbornness of his own ^(E)evil heart, without listening to Me.
