Jeremiah 11:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ But they did not listen or obey. Instead, everyone continued to be as stubborn and evil as ever. I had commanded them to keep the covenant, but they refused. So I brought on them all the punishments described in it.”

⁹ Then the Lord said to me, “The people of Judah and of Jerusalem are plotting against me. ¹⁰ They have gone back to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to do what I said; they have worshiped other gods. Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant that I made with their ancestors.
