Jeremiah 7:21-28

21This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Add your 1burnt offerings to your sacrifices and 2eat flesh. 22For I did not 3speak to your fathers, or command them on 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 shall walk 7entirely in the way which I command you, so that it may 8go well for you.’ 24Yet they 9did not obey or incline their ear, but walked by their own advice and in the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and they 1011went backward and not forward. 25Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have 12sent you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily, again and again. 26Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but 13stiffened their neck; they 14did more evil than their fathers.

27“So you shall 15speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will 16not answer you. 28And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that 17did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept discipline; 1819trustworthiness has perished and has been eliminated from their mouth.
