Jeremiah 7:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ “Jeremiah, when you tell them all this, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not answer. ²⁸ So say to them, ‘You are a nation that has not obeyed the Lord your God. You did not pay attention when you were corrected. Truth has died out. You do not tell the truth anymore.’ ”

²⁹ The Lord says to the people of Jerusalem, “Cut off your hair. Throw it away. Sing a song of sadness on the bare hilltops. I am very angry with you. I have turned my back on you. I have deserted you.
