2:25 Do not chase after other gods until your shoes wear out
and your throats become dry. 1
But you say, ‘It is useless for you to try and stop me
because I love those foreign gods 2 and want to pursue them!’
22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. 5
But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”
That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. 6
Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.
21:28 “What 8 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, 9 ‘I will not.’ But later he had a change of heart 10 and went. 21:30 The father 11 went to the other son and said the same thing. This boy answered, 12 ‘I will, sir,’ but did not go. 21:31 Which of the two did his father’s will?” They said, “The first.” 13 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, 14 tax collectors 15 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 16 you saw this, you did not later change your minds 17 and believe him.
