Jeremiah 7:27-29

Holman Christian Standard Bible

A Lament for Disobedient Judah

²⁷ “When you speak all these things to them, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer you. ²⁸ You must therefore declare to them: This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the Lord their God and would not accept discipline. Truth^[a] has perished—it has disappeared from their mouths. ²⁹ Cut off the hair of your sacred vow^[b](A) and throw it away. Raise up a dirge on the barren heights,^(B) for the Lord has rejected and abandoned the generation under His wrath.^(C)
