¹⁵ And they ^(A)rejected His statutes ^(B)and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed ^(C)idols, ^(D)became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should ^(E)not do like them.

¹⁶ And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you will ^[a]rest with your fathers; and this people will ^(A)rise and ^(B)play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be among them, and they will ^(C)forsake Me and ^(D)break My covenant which I have made with them.

¹¹ “But they refused to heed, ^(A)shrugged^[a] their shoulders, and ^(B)stopped^[b] their ears so that they could not hear. ¹² Yes, they made their ^(C)hearts like flint, ^(D)refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. ^(E)Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. ¹³ Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so ^(F)they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts.

⁵⁹ For thus says the Lord God: “I will deal with you as you have done, who ^(A)despised ^(B)the oath by breaking the covenant.

¹⁰ They have turned back to ^(A)the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear My words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.”

³¹ Because he has ^(A)despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his ^[a]guilt shall be upon him.’ ”

⁹ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
