Jeremiah 7:16-28

16“As for you, 1do not prayH6419 for thisH2088 peopleH5971, and do not liftH5375 upH5375 a cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them, and do not pleadH6293 with Me; for I am not listeningH8085 to you. 17Do you not seeH7200 whatH4100 they are doingH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The 2childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 doughH1217 to makeH6213 sacrificialH3561 cakesH3561 for the queenH4446 of heavenH8064; and they 3pourH5258 outH5258 drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to otherH312 godsH430 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 4provokeH3707 Me toH3707 angerH3707. 195Are they provokingH3707 Me?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Is it not themselves instead, to their 6ownH6440 7shameH1322?” 20ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 8GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, My 9angerH639 and My wrathH2534 will be pouredH5413 outH5413 on thisH2088 placeH4725, on humanH120 and animalH929 life, and on the 10treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 and the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it will burnH1197 and not be quenchedH3518.”

21ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “AddH3254 your 11burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 12eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 13speakH1696 to your fathersH1, or commandH6680 them on the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them outH3318 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 shall walkH1980 17entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandH6680 you, soH4616 thatH4616 it may 18goH3190 wellH3190 for you.’ 24Yet they 19did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 by their own adviceH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartsH3820, and they 2021wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 22sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sendingH7971 them dailyH3117, againH7925 andH7925 againH7925. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 23stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 24didH7489 moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.

27“So you shall 25speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them, but they will not listenH8085 to you; and you shall callH7121 to them, but they will 26not answerH6030 you. 28And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 27did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 disciplineH4148; 2829trustworthinessH530 has perishedH6 and has been eliminatedH3772 from their mouthH6310.
