Jeremiah 7:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ But your ·ancestors [fathers] did not listen or ·pay attention [^Lbend the ear] to me. ·They were very stubborn [^LTheir necks were stiff] and they did more evil than their ·ancestors [fathers].’

²⁷ “You [^CJeremiah] will tell all these ·things [words] to them [^Cthe people of Judah], but they will not listen to you. You will ·call [preach; proclaim] to them, but they will not answer you. ²⁸ So say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not ·obeyed [^Llistened to the voice of] the Lord its God. These people do ·nothing when I correct them [^Lnot accept the discipline/instruction]. ·They do not tell the truth [^LThe truth perishes]; it ·has disappeared from their lips [^Lis cut off from their mouths].
