Jehovah kept sending his prophets to warn his people of his judicial decisions. He did so even though ​ — like dregs congealed at the bottom of a wine vat — ​ many Jews had settled down and were apathetic toward the message.
Jehova sūtīja praviešus, lai tie brīdinātu ebrejus, un viņš to darīja nemitīgi, kaut arī daudzi ebreji, kas dzīvē bija ērti iekārtojušies līdzīgi nogulsnēm vīna mucas dibenā, bija vienaldzīgi pret Jehovas vārdiem.
