6 I have paid attention,+ and I kept listening.+ It was not right the way they kept speaking. There was not a man repenting over his badness,+ saying, ‘What have I done?’ Each one is going back into the popular course,+ like a horse that is dashing into the battle.

15 And I kept sending to YOU all my servants the prophets,+ rising up early and sending [them], saying, ‘Turn back, please, each one from his bad way,+ and make YOUR dealings good,+ and do not walk after other gods to serve them.+ And keep dwelling on the ground that I have given to YOU and to YOUR forefathers.’+ But YOU did not incline YOUR ear, nor did YOU listen to me.+
