Jeremiah 7:23-25

Living Bible

²³ But what I told them was: Obey me, and I will be your God and you shall be my people; only do as I say, and all shall be well!

²⁴ But they wouldn’t listen; they kept on doing whatever they wanted to, following their own stubborn, evil thoughts. They went backward instead of forward. ²⁵ Ever since the day your fathers left Egypt until now, I have kept on sending them my prophets, day after day.
