“And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.”
The statement that the prophets said "Turn back each of you from your evil way," abandoning pursuit of other gods—presents the consistent message of all prophets. The message combines negative (turn from evil) and positive (abandon idolatry) components. The consistency of prophetic message across generations shows that the people's rejection is not based on confusion about the message but on willful resistance. The clarity of the call condemns the people's refusal.
