Jeremiah 7:21-28

21Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your 1burnt offerings to your sacrifices and 2eat flesh. 22For I did not 3speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23But this is 4what I commanded them, saying, ‘5Obey My voice, and 6I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may 7be well with you.’ 24Yet they 8did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and 910went backward and not forward. 25Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have 11sent you all My servants the prophets, daily rising early and sending them. 26Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but 12stiffened their neck; they 13did more evil than their fathers.

27“You shall 14speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will 15not answer you. 28You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that 16did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; 1718truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.
