Jeremiah 7:21-26
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 For [a]I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways which I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24 But they would not obey, nor incline their ear, but went after the counsels, and the stubbornness of their wicked heart, and went backward and not forward.
25 Since the day that your fathers came up out of the land of Egypt, unto [b]this day, I have even sent unto you all my servants the Prophets, [c]rising up early every day, and sending them.
26 Yet would they not hear me, nor incline their ear, but hardened their neck, and did worse than their fathers.
