16 But they were continually making jest+ at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words+ and mocking+ at his prophets, until the rage+ of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing.+

25 So He kept pouring out upon him rage, his anger, and the strength of war.+ And it kept consuming him all around,+ but he took no note;+ and it kept blazing up against him, but he would lay nothing to heart.+

2 If YOU will not listen,+ and if YOU will not lay [it] to heart+ to give glory to my name,”+ Jehovah of armies has said, “I shall also certainly send upon YOU the curse,+ and I will curse YOUR blessings.+ Yes, I have even cursed the [blessing],* because YOU are not laying [it] to heart.”
