2. Also because they did not believe the
prophets, and put them to death.
In Jeremiah the Lord says: “I have
sent unto I you my servants the prophets. Before the daylight I
sent them (and ye heard me not, and did not listen with your ears),
saying, Let every one of you be converted from his evil way, and from
your most wicked desires; and ye shall dwell in that land which I have
given you and your fathers for ever and ever.”3824 And again:3825
3825
The words “and again” are sometimes omitted; and sometimes
read “Moreover, in the same place.” | “Go not after other gods,
to serve them, and do not worship them; and provoke me not to anger in
the works of your hands to scatter you abroad; and ye have not
hearkened unto me.”3826 Also in the third book of the
Kings, Elias saith unto the Lord: “In being jealous I have
been jealous for the Lord God Almighty; because the children of Israel
have forsaken Thee, have demolished Thine altars, and have slain Thy
prophets with the sword; and I have remained solitary, and they seek my
life, to take it away from me.”3827 In Ezra also: “They
have fallen away from Thee, and have cast Thy law behind their backs,
and have killed Thy prophets which testified against them that they
should return to Thee.”3828
