Jeremiah 7:23-28 But, this thing, I commanded them––saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you––a God, And, ye, shall become unto me––a people,––Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you;

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ But, this thing, I commanded them––saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you––a God, And, ye, shall become unto me––a people,––Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you; ²⁴ Yet they hearkened not, Neither inclined their ear, But walked, In the counsels––In the stubbornness of, their, own wicked heart; And went backward, and not forward. ²⁵ Ever since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, until this day, Have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, Daily, betimes, sending them; ²⁶ Yet they hearkened not unto me, Neither inclined their ear,––But stiffened their neck, They did more wickedly than their fathers. ²⁷ Therefore shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee,––And thou shalt cry aloud unto them, Though they do not answer thee; –– ²⁸ But thou shalt say unto them,––This, is the nation that hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh its God, Neither accepted they correction,––Perished, is fidelity, And is cut off, out of their mouth.
