Jeremiah 7:21-23

New Century Version

Obedience Is More than Sacrifice

²¹ “‘This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: Offer burnt offerings along with your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves! ²² When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, I did not speak to them and give them commands only about burnt offerings and sacrifices. ²³ I also gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Do all that I command so that good things will happen to you.
