Jeremiah 7:21-26

21Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: aAdd your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. 22For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them bconcerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23But this command I gave them: cObey my voice, and dI will be your God, and you shall be my people. eAnd walk in all the way that I command you, fthat it may be well with you.’ 24 gBut they did not obey or incline their ear, hbut walked in their own counsels and ithe stubbornness of their evil hearts, and jwent backward and not forward. 25From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, kI have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day. 26 lYet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, mbut stiffened their neck. nThey did worse than their fathers.
