Jeremiah 7:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ But your ancestors did not listen or pay attention to me. They were stubborn and did whatever their evil hearts wanted. They went backward, not forward. ²⁵ Since the day your ancestors left Egypt, I have sent you my servants, the prophets. I sent them to you again and again. ²⁶ But your ancestors did not listen or pay attention to me. They were very stubborn. And they did more evil than their ancestors.’
