Jeremiah 7:27-29
New American Standard Bible
27 “So you shall (A)speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will (B)not answer you. 28 And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that (C)did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept discipline; [a](D)trustworthiness has perished and has been eliminated from their mouth.
29 (E)Cut off [b]your hair and throw it away,
And (F)take up a song of mourning on the bare heights;
For the Lord has (G)rejected and forsaken
The generation of His wrath.’

27 “You will tell them all these things, but they won’t listen to you. You will call out to them, but they won’t answer you. 28 You will say to them, ‘This is the nation that wouldn’t listen to the voice[a] of the Lord its God and wouldn’t accept correction. Truth has perished; it has been eliminated from their discussions.’
29 “Cut off your hair and throw it away;
let your lamentations rise on the barren heights,
because the Lord has rejected and abandoned
the generation that is subject to his wrath.[b]
