Jeremiah 7:23-28

Leeser(i) 23 But this thing did I command them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be unto you for a God, and ye shall be unto me for a people; and walk ye altogether on the way which I may command you, in order that it may be well unto you. 24 Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; but they walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart; and they went backward, and not forward: 25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt until this day; and I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, sending them daily in the morning early; 26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear; but they hardened their neck; they did worse than their fathers. 27 And if thou speak unto them all these words, and they will not hearken to thee; and if thou call unto them, and they will not answer thee: 28 Then shalt thou say unto them, This is the nation that hearken not to the voice of the Lord their God, and accept not correction; lost is the truth, and is obliterated from their mouth.
