²⁸ And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?

¹⁰ They were not ruled by God's word, and they would not go in the way of his law;

¹³ But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

¹⁴ And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

¹³ But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them.

¹⁹ And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

¹⁶ Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images.

⁶ And she has gone against my orders by doing evil more than the nations, and against my rules more than the countries round her: for they have given up my orders, and as for my rules, they have not gone in the way of them.

⁶ There is wrong on wrong, deceit on deceit; they have given up the knowledge of me, says the Lord.

¹⁴ O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?

¹³ And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?

⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.

¹³ If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!

¹⁴ I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.

²² Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.

¹² Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them.

¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

³ Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you be lifted up in your pride before me? let my people go so that they may give me worship.
