Jeremiah 7:24-28 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;

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
