3:5 You will not always be angry with me, will you?
You will not be mad at me forever, will you?’
That is what you say,
but you continually do all the evil that you can.”
7:30 The Lord says, “I have rejected them because the people of Judah have done what I consider evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in the temple which I have claimed for my own and have defiled it.
13:23 But there is little hope for you ever doing good,
you who are so accustomed to doing evil.

Can a leopard remove its spots?
18:20 Should good be paid back with evil?

Just remember how I stood before you
pleading on their behalf
to keep you from venting your anger on them.
23:22 But if they had stood in my inner circle,
they would have proclaimed my message to my people.
They would have caused my people to turn from their wicked ways
and stop doing the evil things they are doing.
