21 Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
24 But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
25 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent them,
26 but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;
28 This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
