Jeremiah 7:27-28

27 Then the Lord said to me, ^{▼▼ The words, “Then the Lord said to me” are not in the text but are implicit in the shift from the second and third person plural pronouns in vv. 21–26 and the second singular in this verse. The words are supplied in the translation for clarity.} “When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not respond to you. 28 So tell them: ‘This is a nation that has not obeyed the Lord their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore. ^{▼▼ Heb “Faithfulness has vanished. It is cut off from their lips.”} ^{▼▼ For the need for faithfulness see 5:1, 3.}
