3 “From the 13th year of Jo·siʹah+ son of Aʹmon, the king of Judah, to this day, these 23 years, the word of Jehovah has come to me, and I kept speaking to you again and again,* but you would not listen.+

15 And I kept sending all my servants the prophets to you, sending them again and again,*+ saying, ‘Turn back, please, each of you from your evil ways,+ and do what is right! Do not walk after other gods and serve them. Then you will keep dwelling in the land that I gave to you and your forefathers.’+ But you did not incline your ear or listen to me.
