The Fall of Jerusalem

¹⁵ The Lord, the God of their ancestors, sent persistently to them by his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place,^(A)

²⁵ From the day that your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day,^(A)

⁴ And though the Lord persistently sent you all his servants the prophets, you have neither listened nor inclined your ears to hear^(A)

⁵ and to heed the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently—though you have not heeded^(A)—

¹⁰ So I went in and looked; there, portrayed on the wall all around, were all kinds of creeping things and loathsome animals and all the idols of the house of Israel.^(A)
