Jeremiah 7:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ I also gave them another command. I said, ‘Obey me. Then I will be your God. And you will be my people. Live the way I command you to live. Then things will go well with you.’ ²⁴ But they did not listen. They refused to pay any attention to me. Instead, they did what their stubborn and evil hearts wanted them to do. They went backward and not forward. ²⁵ Again and again I sent my servants the prophets to you. They came to you day after day. They prophesied from the time your people left Egypt until now.
