Jeremiah 11:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 And Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying,[a] ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them, 7 for I solemnly admonished your ancestors[b] in the day of my leading them out from the land of Egypt and up to this day, admonishing persistently,[c] saying,[d] “Obey my voice.” 8 But they did not obey and they did not incline their ear. Instead each one walked in the stubbornness of his[e] evil heart. Therefore, I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them[f] to do, and they did not do it.’”[g]

American Standard Version
6 And Jehovah said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
