⁷ From the time I brought your ancestors up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again,^(A) saying, “Obey me.” ⁸ But they did not listen or pay attention;^(B) instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts.^(C) So I brought on them all the curses^(D) of the covenant I had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.^(E)’”

⁴ then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning^(A) and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head.^(B)

⁴ Do not be like your ancestors,^(A) to whom the earlier prophets^(B) proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways^(C) and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me,^(D) declares the Lord.^(E)
