Jeremiah 7:23-28

23But this is 1what I commanded them, saying, ‘2Obey My voice, and 3I 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 4be well with you.’ 24Yet they 5did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and 6 7went backward and not forward. 25Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have 8sent you all My servants the prophets, daily rising early and sending them. 26Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but 9stiffened their neck; they 10did more evil than their fathers.

27“You shall 11speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will 12not answer you. 28You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that 13did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; 14 15truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.
