Jeremiah 7:27-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you.(A) 28 You shall say to them: This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.(B)
29 Cut off your hair and throw it away;
raise a lamentation on the bare heights,[a]
for the Lord has rejected and forsaken
the generation that provoked his wrath.(C)
