Jeremiah 7:23–28

23 “But this is 1what I commanded them, saying, ‘aObey My voice, and bI will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may cbe well with you.’

24 “Yet they adid not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and 1 bwent backward and not forward.

25 “Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have asent you all My servants the prophets, daily rising early and sending them.

26 “Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but astiffened their neck; they bdid more evil than their fathers.

27 “You shall aspeak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will bnot answer you.

28 “You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that adid not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; 1 btruth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.
