16 And it came about when he spoke to him that [the king] immediately said to him: “Was it a counselor of the king that we constituted you?+ Quit for your own sake.+ Why should they strike you down?” Accordingly the prophet quit, but he said: “I certainly know that God has resolved to bring you to ruin,+ because you have done this+ and you have not listened to my counsel.”+

29 A man* repeatedly reproved+ but making his neck hard+ will suddenly be broken, and that without healing.+

17 “And I raised up over YOU people* watchmen,+ ‘Pay attention to the sound of the horn!’”+ But they kept saying: “We are not going to pay attention.”+

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.
