Jeremiah 11:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For protesting I conjured your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt even to this day: rising early I conjured them, and said: Hearken ye to my voice:

⁸ And they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear: but walked every one in the perverseness of his own wicked heart: and I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.

⁹ And the Lord said to me: A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
