Jeremiah 7:16-28

16“As for you, 1do not prayH6419 for thisH2088 peopleH5971, and do not liftH5375 up cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them, and do not intercedeH6293 with Me; for I do not hearH8085 you. 17Do you not seeH7200 whatH4100 they are doingH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The 2childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, and the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 doughH1217 to makeH6213 cakesH3561 for the queenH4446 of heavenH8064; and they 3pourH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to otherH312 godsH430 in orderH4616 to 4spiteH3707 Me. 195Do they spiteH3707 Me?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Is it not themselves they spite, to 6their ownH6440 7shameH1322H6440?” 20ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 8GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, My 9angerH639 and My wrathH2534 will be pouredH5413 out on thisH2088 placeH4725, on manH120 and on beastH929 and on the 10treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 and on the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it will burnH1197 and not be quenchedH3518.”

21ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “AddH3254 your 11burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 12eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 13speakH1696 to your fathersH1, or commandH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH5921H1697 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077. 23But thisH2088 is 14whatH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘15ObeyH8085 My voiceH6963, and 16I will be your GodH430, and you will be My peopleH5971; and you will walkH1980 in allH3605 the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandH6680 you, that it may 17be wellH3190 with you.’ 24Yet they 18did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 in their own counselsH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and 1920wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 21sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 risingH7925 earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 22stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 23did moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.

27“You shall 24speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them, but they will not listenH8085 to you; and you shall callH7121 to them, but they will 25not answerH6030 you. 28You shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 26did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 correctionH4148; 2728truthH530 has perishedH6 and has been cutH3772 offH3772 from their mouthH6310.
