Jeremiah 7:21-28

21ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “AddH3254 your 1burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 2eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 3speakH1696 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 4whatH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘5ObeyH8085 My voiceH6963, and 6I will be your GodH430, and you will be My peopleH5971; and you shall walkH1980 7entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandH6680 you, soH4616 thatH4616 it may 8goH3190 wellH3190 for you.’ 24Yet they 9did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 by their own adviceH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartsH3820, and they 1011wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 12sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sendingH7971 them dailyH3117, againH7925 andH7925 againH7925. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 13stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 14didH7489 moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.

27“So you shall 15speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them, but they will not listenH8085 to you; and you shall callH7121 to them, but they will 16not answerH6030 you. 28And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 17did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 disciplineH4148; 1819trustworthinessH530 has perishedH6 and has been eliminatedH3772 from their mouthH6310.
