9:13 The people did not return to the one who struck them,
they did not seek reconciliation
9:21 Manasseh fought against
and Ephraim against Manasseh;
together they fought against Judah.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again.
2:30 “It did no good for me to punish your people.
They did not respond to such correction.
You slaughtered your prophets
like a voracious lion.”
5:3 Lord, I know you look for faithfulness.
But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse.
Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected.
They have become as hardheaded as a rock.
They refuse to change their ways.
6:28 I reported,
“All of them are the most stubborn of rebels!
They are as hard as bronze or iron.
They go about telling lies.
They all deal corruptly.
6:29 The fiery bellows of judgment burn fiercely.
But there is too much dross to be removed.
The process of refining them has proved useless.
The wicked have not been purged.
6:30 They are regarded as ‘rejected silver’
because the Lord rejects them.”
24:13 You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct.
I tried to cleanse you,
You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness
until I have exhausted my anger on you.
“My son, do not scorn
or give up when he corrects
12:6 “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.”
12:7 Endure your suffering
