Jeremiah 7:16-28

16Therefore prayH6419 not thou for this peopleH5971, neither lift upH5375 cryH7440 nor prayerH8605 for themH1157, neither make intercessionH6293 to me: for I will not hearH8085 thee.

17SeestH7200 thou not what they doH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, and the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 their doughH1217, to makeH6213 cakesH3561 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they may provoke me to angerH3707.1 19Do they provoke me to angerH3707? saithH5002 YhwhH3068: do they not provoke themselves to the confusionH1322 of their own facesH6440? 20Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Behold, mine angerH639 and my furyH2534 shall be poured outH5413 upon this placeH4725, upon manH120, and upon beastH929, and upon the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, and upon the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it shall burnH1197, and shall not be quenchedH3518.

21Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; PutH5595 your burnt offeringsH5930 unto your sacrificesH2077, and eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I spakeH1696 not unto your fathersH1, nor commandedH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH1697 burnt offeringsH5930 or sacrificesH2077:2 23But this thingH1697 commandedH6680 I them, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in all the waysH1870 that I have commandedH6680 you, that it may be wellH3190 unto you. 24But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440.34 25Since the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 came forth outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117 I have even sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them: 26Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1. 27Therefore thou shalt speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 unto them; but they will not hearkenH8085 to thee: thou shalt also callH7121 unto them; but they will not answerH6030 thee. 28But thou shalt sayH559 unto them, This is a nationH1471 that obeyethH8085 not the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068 their GodH430, nor receivethH3947 correctionH4148: truthH530 is perishedH6, and is cut offH3772 from their mouthH6310.5
