Jeremiah 7:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ However, they did not obey or pay heed to my words. Rather, they persisted in following their own evil inclinations with stubborn hearts and turned their backs to me, not their faces. ²⁵ From the day your ancestors left Egypt until today, I unfailingly sent all my servants the prophets to them. ²⁶ Yet they have not listened to me or paid attention; instead they stiffened their necks and proved to be worse than their ancestors.
