Jeremiah 7:22-24
International Standard Version
22 Indeed, when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I didn’t speak or command them about burnt offering and sacrifice, 23 but I did give them this command:[a] ‘Obey me and I’ll be your God, and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways that I command you so it will go well for you.’ 24 But they didn’t listen,[b] nor did they pay attention.[c] They pursued their own plans,[d] stubbornly following their own evil desires.[e] They went backward and not forward.
