“But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.”
The willful disobedience: 'From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets.' This verse emphasizes the long history of prophetic witness: God 'sent you my servants the prophets' repeatedly ('day after day, again and again'). The phrase 'from the time your ancestors left Egypt until now' indicates that this pattern extends throughout the entire history of the covenant people. Theologically, this verse establishes that the people have had constant access to God's word through the prophets, yet have persistently rejected it.
