¹³ The Lord warned^(A) Israel and Judah through all his prophets and seers:^(B) “Turn from your evil ways.^(C) Observe my commands and decrees, in accordance with the entire Law that I commanded your ancestors to obey and that I delivered to you through my servants the prophets.”^(D)

¹⁴ But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked^(E) as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God. ¹⁵ They rejected his decrees and the covenant^(F) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols^(G) and themselves became worthless.^(H) They imitated the nations^(I) around them although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”

¹² This happened because they had not obeyed the Lord their God, but had violated his covenant^(A)—all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.^(B) They neither listened to the commands^(C) nor carried them out.

⁷ But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet,^(A) the mystery^(B) of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”^(C)
