4 And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets(D) to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention.(E) 5 They said, “Turn(F) now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land(G) the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. 6 Do not follow other gods(H) to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
7 “But you did not listen to me,” declares the Lord, “and you have aroused(I) my anger with what your hands have made,(J) and you have brought harm(K) to yourselves.”
