But if ye will not hearken to me, nor obey these my ordinances,
Verse 15
but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that ye should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant,

And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before me,
