They refuse to change their ways.

Jeremiah 31:18-20

31:18 I have indeed heard the people of Israel say mournfully,

‘We were like a calf untrained to the yoke.

You disciplined us and we learned from it.

Let us come back to you and we will do so,

for you are the Lord our God.

31:19 For after we turned away from you we repented.

After we came to our senses we beat our breasts in sorrow.

We are ashamed and humiliated

because of the disgraceful things we did previously.’

31:20 Indeed, the people of Israel are my dear children.

I, the Lord, affirm it!

they are like an unreliable bow.

Their leaders will fall by the sword

because their prayers to Baal have made me angry.
