16 But they were continually making jest+ at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words+ and mocking+ at his prophets, until the rage+ of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing.+

12 And I will destine YOU men to the sword,+ and YOU will all of YOU bow down to being slaughtered;+ for the reason that I called,+ but YOU did not answer; I spoke, but YOU did not listen;+ and YOU kept doing what was bad in my eyes,+ and the thing in which I took no delight YOU chose.”+
