I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the Lord ¹  and recklessly went up to the hill country.

He said to me, “Son of man, ¹  stand on your feet and I will speak with you.”

So I told the exiles everything ¹  the Lord had shown me.

So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. In the morning ¹  I acted just as I was commanded.

You also have done all these things, says the Lord, and I have spoken to you over and over again. ¹  But you have not listened! You have refused to respond when I called you to repent! ² 

“For the last twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon was ruling in Judah ¹  until now, the Lord has been speaking to me. I told you over and over again ²  what he said. ³  But you would not listen.
