3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: ^aReturn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and ^bI will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 ^cDo not be like your fathers, ^dto whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^eReturn from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But ^fthey did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And ^gthe prophets, do they live forever?
