18 And I proceeded to say to their sons in the wilderness,+ ‘In the regulations of your forefathers do not YOU walk,+ and their judgments do not YOU keep,+ and with their dungy idols do not YOU defile yourselves.+

4 “‘Do not become like YOUR fathers+ to whom the former prophets called,+ saying: “This is what Jehovah* of armies has said, ‘Return, please, from YOUR bad ways and from YOUR bad dealings.’”’+

“‘But they did not listen, and they paid no attention to me,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.
