²¹ Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your ^(A)burnt offerings to your sacrifices and ^(B)eat flesh. ²² For I did not ^(C)speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. ²³ But this is ^[a]what I commanded them, saying, ‘^(D)Listen to My voice, and ^(E)I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in the entire way which I command you, that it may ^(F)be well with you.’ ²⁴ Yet they ^(G)did not listen or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart and ^[b](H)went backward and not forward. ²⁵ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have ^(I)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 ^(J)stiffened their neck; they ^(K)did more evil than their fathers.
