son of
Iddo saying,

say to them,
'Thus says the

says the
LORD of
hosts.

"Do not be like your
fathers, to
whom the
former prophets proclaimed,
saying,
'Thus says the
LORD of

"Return now from your
evil ways and from your
evil deeds."' But they did not
listen or
give heed to Me,"
declares the
LORD.

so He has
dealt with us.' ""'
