13Yet the Lord awarned Israel and Judah bby every prophet cand every seer, saying, dTurn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

Jeremiah 8:4-6

Sin and Treachery

4 “You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord:
fWhen men fall, do they not rise again?
If one turns away, does he not return?
5Why then has this people gturned away
in perpetual hbacksliding?
iThey hold fast to deceit;
they refuse to return.
6 jI have paid attention and listened,
but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
klike a horse plunging headlong into battle.

and yI made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
zyet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.

And aethe prophets, do they live forever? 6 afBut my words and my statutes, which I commanded agmy servants the prophets, did they not ahovertake your fathers? So they repented and said, ai‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for ajour ways and akdeeds, so has he dealt with us.’”
