Moses Pleads for the People

^11 (A)And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people be disrespectful to Me? And how long will ^(B)they not ^[a]believe in Me, despite all the signs that I have performed in their midst?

¹⁵ Yet the Lord, the God of their fathers, ^(A)sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; ¹⁶ but they continually ^(B)mocked the messengers of God, ^(C)despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, ^(D)until the wrath of the Lord rose against His people, until there was no remedy.

¹⁰ They have ^(A)turned back to the wrongdoings of their ^[a]ancestors who ^(B)refused to hear My words, and they ^(C)have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have ^(D)broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.”
