4 “Do not be like your fathers, ato whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: b“Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.” ’ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the Lord. 
5 “Your fathers, where are they?
And the prophets, do they live forever?
6 Yet surely aMy words and My statutes,
Which I commanded My servants the prophets,
Did they not overtake your fathers? “So they returned and said:
b‘Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us,
According to our ways and according to our deeds,
So He has dealt with us.’ ” ’ ”
