2 Chronicles 36:15-
16 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by
his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: ... But they
mocked the messengers of God, and
despised his words, and
misused his prophets, until
the wrath of the LORD arose against his people,
till [
there was] no
remedy.
Nehemiah 9:29-
30 And
testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law:
yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (
which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and
withdrew the shoulder,
and hardened their neck, and would not hear. ... Yet
many years didst thou
forbear them, and testifiedst against them
by thy spirit in
thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
Jeremiah 25:4-
7 And the LORD hath sent unto you
all his servants the prophets,
rising early and sending [
them]; but
ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. ... Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD;
that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
Jeremiah 44:4-
5 Howbeit
I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending [
them], saying, Oh, do not
this abominable thing that I hate. ... But
they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to
burn no incense unto other gods.
Zechariah 1:4 Be ye not
as your fathers,
unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts;
Turn ye now from your evil ways, and [
from] your evil doings:
but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
Acts 7:51-
52 Ye
stiffnecked and
uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always
resist the Holy Ghost:
as your fathers [
did], so [
do] ye. ...
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them
which shewed before of the coming of
the Just One;
of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
