9. And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant,
10. if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.
11. And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
12. But they say, There is no hope; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.
