Jeremiah 11:6-8

NSB(i) 6 Jehovah said to me: »Go to the cities of Judah and to the streets of Jerusalem. Proclaim my message there and tell the people: ‘Listen to the terms of the covenant and obey them.’ 7 »I solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt. Even to this day I persistently warned them, saying: ‘Listen to my voice.’ 8 »Yet they did not obey or incline their ear (pay attention). They walked, each one, in the stubbornness of his evil heart! Therefore I brought on them all the words of the covenant I commanded them to do. But they did not do it.’«
