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]

6 And the Lord said to me: Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I solemnly warned your ancestors when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, “Obey my voice.”(A) 8 Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of an evil will. So I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.(B)
