Jeremiah 7:23-28

23But thisH2088 is 1whatH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘2ObeyH8085 My voiceH6963, and 3I will be your GodH430, and you will be My peopleH5971; and you shall walkH1980 4entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandH6680 you, soH4616 thatH4616 it may 5goH3190 wellH3190 for you.’ 24Yet they 6did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 by their own adviceH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartsH3820, and they 78wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 9sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sendingH7971 them dailyH3117, againH7925 andH7925 againH7925. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 10stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 11didH7489 moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.

27“So you shall 12speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them, but they will not listenH8085 to you; and you shall callH7121 to them, but they will 13not answerH6030 you. 28And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 14did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 disciplineH4148; 1516trustworthinessH530 has perishedH6 and has been eliminatedH3772 from their mouthH6310.
