⁴³ But ^(A)the land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes.

⁷ For the mind that is set on the flesh is ^(A)hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; ^(B)indeed, it cannot.

¹⁵ if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but ^(A)break my covenant,

⁵ And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

⁷ It is for discipline that you have to endure. ^(D)God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? ⁸ If you are left without discipline, ^(E)in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. ⁹ Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to ^(F)the Father of spirits ^(G)and live? ¹⁰ For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, ^(H)that we may share his holiness. ^11 (I)For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields ^(J)the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

^23 (A)Whoever hates me hates my Father also. ^24 (B)If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, ^(C)they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have ^(D)seen and hated both me and my Father.

⁷ The world cannot hate you, but ^(A)it hates me because I testify about it that ^(B)its works are evil.

⁸ In one month ^(A)I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me.

^14 (A)Therefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, ^(B)for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and ^(C)we have not obeyed his voice.
