Isaiah 1:4-5

4 Ah, sinful nation,
a people laden with iniquity,
aoffspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they have bdespised cthe Holy One of Israel,
they are utterly destranged.
5 Why will you still be estruck down?
Why will you fcontinue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.

Jeremiah 2:30

30In vain have I gstruck your children;
they took no correction;
hyour own sword devoured your prophets
like a ravening lion.

Jeremiah 5:3

3O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?
iYou have struck them down,
but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
but they refused to take correction.
jThey have made their faces harder than rock;
they have refused to repent.

Jeremiah 6:29-30

29The kbellows blow fiercely;
the lead is consumed by the fire;
lin vain the refining goes on,
for the wicked are not removed.
30 mRejected silver they are called,
for the Lord has rejected them.”

Zephaniah 3:2

2She listens to no voice;
nshe accepts no correction.
oShe does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
