- Yet the Lord testified against Israel
and against Judah, by all of His prophets, namely every seer,
saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments
and My statutes, according to all the law
which I commanded your fathers,
and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.” (Jer. 18:11; Jer. 25:5)

but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers,
who did not believe in the Lord their God. (Ps. 78:8)

His covenant that He had made with their fathers,
and His testimonies which He had testified against them;
they followed idols, became idolaters,
and went after the nations who were all around them,
concerning whom the Lord had charged them
that they should not do like them. (Deut. 29:25; Deut. 32:21; Ps. 78:10; Jer. 44:3)
