24But they took no note and did not give ear, but were guided by the thoughts and the pride of their evil hearts, going back and not forward.
25From the day when your fathers came out of Egypt till this day, I have sent my servants the prophets to you, getting up early every day and sending them:
26But still they took no note and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff, doing worse than their fathers.
27And you are to say all these words to them, but they will not give ear to you: you will send out your voice to them, but they will give no answer.
28And you are to say to them, This is the nation which has not given ear to the voice of their God, or taken his teaching to heart: good faith is dead and is cut off from their mouths.
29Let your hair be cut off, O Jerusalem, and let it go, and let a song of grief go up on the open hilltops; for the Lord is turned away from the generation of his wrath and has given them up.
30For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the Lord: they have put their disgusting images in the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.
