2:25 Do not chase after other gods until your shoes wear out
and your throats become dry.
But you say, ‘It is useless for you to try and stop me
because I love those foreign gods and want to pursue them!’

We will do whatever we want to do! We will continue to behave wickedly and stubbornly!’”
Jeremiah 22:21
22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning.
But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”

Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.

The Parable of the Two Sons
21:28 “What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
21:29 The boy answered, ‘I will not.’ But later he had a change of heart and went.
21:30 The father went to the other son and said the same thing. This boy answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but did not go.
21:31 Which of the two did his father’s will?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, tax collectors and prostitutes will go ahead of you into the kingdom of God!
21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe. Although you saw this, you did not later change your minds and believe him.
