Jeremiah 7:21-28

21Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 1God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.

22For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them concerning burnt-offerings and sacrifices, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt;

23but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your 2God, and ye shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.

24But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.

25Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, unto this day, have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them;

26but they have not hearkened unto me, nor inclined their ear; and they have hardened their neck: they have done worse than their fathers.

27And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken unto thee; and thou shalt call unto them, but they will not answer thee.

28And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation which hath not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah their 3God, nor received correction; fidelity is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
