Judah Refuses to Repent

Jeremiah 18:11-12

Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good.

And they said; We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.
