Jeremiah 7:21
Compare all
19 aDo they provoke Me to anger?” says the Lord. “Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?”  
20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.”
21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: a“Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.  
22 aFor I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.  
23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, a‘Obey My voice, and bI will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’  
24 aYet they did not obey or incline their ear, but bfollowed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and cwent backward and not forward.  
25 Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even asent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.  
26 aYet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but bstiffened their neck. cThey did worse than their fathers.  
27 “Therefore ayou shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

28 “So you shall say to them, ‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the Lord their God anor receive correction. bTruth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.
