Jeremiah 7:21-28

21ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “AddH3254 your 1burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 2eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 3speakH1696 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 4whatH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘5ObeyH8085 My voiceH6963, and 6I 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 7be wellH3190 with you.’ 24Yet they 8did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 in their own counselsH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and 910wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 11sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 risingH7925 earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 12stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 13did moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.

27“You shall 14speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them, but they will not listenH8085 to you; and you shall callH7121 to them, but they will 15not answerH6030 you. 28You shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 16did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 correctionH4148; 1718truthH530 has perishedH6 and has been cutH3772 offH3772 from their mouthH6310.
