NSB(i)
2 Jehovah was very angry with your fathers.
3 Tell them, Jehovah of Hosts has said: »Jehovah of Hosts says return to me and I will return to you.«
4 »Do not be like your fathers! The former prophets declared: ‘Jehovah of Hosts said, I implore you, return from your evil ways, and from your wicked activities! But they did not listen, they paid no attention to me,’« said Jehovah.
5 »’Your fathers, where are they?’ The prophets, do they live forever?
6 »I commanded my servants the prophets to obey my words and my statutes. They disregarded them and suffered greatly. Then they repented and admitted that I, Jehovah of Hosts, corrected them as they deserved according to their deeds.’«
