Jer 6:16-20, 13:17, 25:4-9, 34:17, Eze 3:7, Zec 1:3-6, 7:11-14 | ESV | STEP | Thus says the Lord : Stand by the roads , and look , and ask for the ancient paths , where the good way is ; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls . But they said , We will not walk in it.

16 Thus says the Lord:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for ^athe ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
^band find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 ^cI set watchmen over you, saying,
‘Pay attention to ^dthe sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ^e‘We will not pay attention.’
18 Therefore hear, O nations,
and know, O congregation, what will happen to them.
19 Hear, O earth; behold, I am bringing disaster upon this people,
^fthe fruit of their devices,
because they have not paid attention to my words;
and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 ^gWhat use to me is ^hfrankincense that comes from ⁱSheba,
or sweet cane from a distant land?
^jYour burnt offerings are not acceptable,
nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

Jeremiah 13:17

17 But if you will not listen,
^kmy soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

Jeremiah 25:4-9

4 ^lYou have neither listened nor inclined your ears to hear, although the Lord ^mpersistently sent to you all his servants the prophets, 5 saying, ⁿ‘Turn now, every one of you, ^ofrom his evil way and evil deeds, and ^pdwell upon the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers from of old and forever. 6 ^qDo not go after other gods to serve and worship them, ^ror provoke me to anger ^swith the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’ 7 ^tYet you have not listened to me, declares the Lord, ^uthat you might provoke me to anger ^vwith the work of your hands to your own harm.

8 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: Because you have not obeyed my words, 9 ^wbehold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^xmy servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, ^yand make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation.

Jeremiah 34:17

17 “Therefore, thus says the Lord: You have not obeyed me ^zby proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother and to his neighbor; ^aabehold, I proclaim to you liberty ^abto the sword, to pestilence, and to famine, declares the Lord. ^acI will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

Ezekiel 3:7

7 ^adBut the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me: because all the house of Israel ^aehave a hard forehead and a stubborn heart.

Zechariah 1:3-6

3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: ^afReturn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and ^agI will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 ^ahDo not be like your fathers, ^aito whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^ajReturn from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But ^akthey did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And ^althe prophets, do they live forever? 6 ^amBut my words and my statutes, which I commanded ^anmy servants the prophets, did they not ^aoovertake your fathers? So they repented and said, ^ap‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for ^aqour ways and ^ardeeds, so has he dealt with us.’”

Zechariah 7:11-14

11 But ^asthey refused to pay attention ^atand turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear. ^{▼▼Hebrew and made their ears too heavy to hear} 12 ^avThey made their hearts diamond-hard ^awlest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent ^axby his Spirit through ^aythe former prophets. ^azTherefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. 13 ^ba“As I ^{▼▼Hebrew he} called, and they would not hear, ^bcso they called, and I would not hear,” says the Lord of hosts, 14 ^bd“and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all ^bethe nations that they had not known. ^bfThus the land they left was desolate, ^bgso that no one went to and fro, ^bhand the pleasant land was made desolate.”
