Jeremiah 7:27-29
New Catholic Bible
27 When you speak all these words to them, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not answer you. 28 Then you are to say to them: This is the nation that did not obey the Lord, their God, or accept correction. Truth has perished. It no longer issues forth from their mouths.
29 [a]Cut off your hair and cast it away;
raise a lamentation on the barren heights.
For the Lord has rejected and abandoned
the generation that has provoked his wrath.
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 7:29 The Valley of Ben-hinnom, where sacrifices of children were offered, would become an open-air charnel house. And in the neighborhood of the city, the desecrated bones of worshipers of the stars (see Jer 8:2) would remain exposed before the gaze of their helpless divinities. The privation of burial and the desecration of graves were curses.
