Jeremiah 7:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² When I brought your fathers out of Egypt, I said nothing to them about burnt offerings and sacrifices. ²³ I gave them only this command: “Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Walk entirely in the way I commanded you to walk, so that it may go well with you.” ²⁴ But they did not obey me or listen to me. They followed their own advice and the stubbornness of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
