The words "you" and "your" in these verses refer to the people of Judah. "They" refers to the ancestors of the people of Judah.
# Connecting Statement:
Yahweh continues giving Jeremiah his message to the people of Judah.
# they did not listen or incline their ear
These phrases mean about the same thing and are repeated for emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
# incline their ear
To "incline the ear" is to lean toward the speaker so as to better hear the words. This is a metaphor for listening carefully and paying attention. Alternate translation: "listen carefully" or "pay attention" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"listen carefully" or "pay attention"
# by their own stubborn plans of their wicked hearts

# they went backwards, not forward
This is a metaphor. Possible meanings are 1) they refused to pay attention to Yahweh, instead of eagerly obeying him. Alternate translation: "they went away from me instead of drawing closer to me" or 2) they got worse and worse instead of improving. Alternate translation: "they got worse instead of better" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
