Jeremiah 7:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ What I commanded them was this: Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. If you follow all the ways that I command you, then you will prosper.

²⁴ However, they did not obey or pay heed to my words. Rather, they persisted in following their own evil inclinations with stubborn hearts and turned their backs to me, not their faces. ²⁵ From the day your ancestors left Egypt until today, I unfailingly sent all my servants the prophets to them.
