Jeremiah 7:22-24
New King James Version
22 (A)For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. 23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, (B)‘Obey My voice, and (C)I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ 24 (D)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but (E)followed[a] the counsels and the [b]dictates of their evil hearts, and (F)went[c] backward and not forward.

Jeremiah 7:22-24
New International Version
22 For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands(A) about burnt offerings and sacrifices,(B) 23 but I gave them this command:(C) Obey(D) me, and I will be your God and you will be my people.(E) Walk in obedience to all(F) I command you, that it may go well(G) with you. 24 But they did not listen(H) or pay attention;(I) instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts.(J) They went backward(K) and not forward.
