11 There they burned incense on all the high places, like the nations whom the Lord had carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger,

13 Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His ^aprophets, ^bevery seer, saying, ^c“Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”  ‡

14 Nevertheless they would not hear, but ^astiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who ^bdid not believe in the Lord their God.  ‡
