Yirmeyah 7:21-7:28

ז:כא   כֹּה אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, א-לקי יִשְׂרָאֵל:  עֹלוֹתֵיכֶם סְפוּ עַל-זִבְחֵיכֶם, וְאִכְלוּ בָשָׂר.7:21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
כב   כִּי לֹא-דִבַּרְתִּי אֶת-אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם, וְלֹא צִוִּיתִים, בְּיוֹם הוציא (הוֹצִיאִי) אוֹתָם, מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם--עַל-דִּבְרֵי עוֹלָה, וָזָבַח.22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;
כג   כִּי אִם-אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה צִוִּיתִי אוֹתָם לֵאמֹר, שִׁמְעוּ בְקוֹלִי--וְהָיִיתִי לָכֶם לֵא-לקים, וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ-לִי לְעָם; וַהֲלַכְתֶּם, בְּכָל-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר אֲצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם, לְמַעַן, יִיטַב לָכֶם.23 but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
כד   וְלֹא שָׁמְעוּ, וְלֹא-הִטּוּ אֶת-אָזְנָם, וַיֵּלְכוּ בְּמֹעֵצוֹת, בִּשְׁרִרוּת לִבָּם הָרָע; וַיִּהְיוּ לְאָחוֹר, וְלֹא לְפָנִים.24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward,
כה   לְמִן-הַיּוֹם, אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם, עַד, הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה--וָאֶשְׁלַח אֲלֵיכֶם אֶת-כָּל-עֲבָדַי הַנְּבִיאִים, יוֹם הַשְׁכֵּם וְשָׁלֹחַ.25 even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily betimes and often,
כו   וְלוֹא שָׁמְעוּ אֵלַי, וְלֹא הִטּוּ אֶת-אָזְנָם; וַיַּקְשׁוּ, אֶת-עָרְפָּם--הֵרֵעוּ, מֵאֲבוֹתָם.26 yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers.
כז   וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת-כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, וְלֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ אֵלֶיךָ; וְקָרָאתָ אֲלֵיהֶם, וְלֹא יַעֲנוּכָה.27 And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken to thee; thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee.
כח   וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם, זֶה הַגּוֹי אֲשֶׁר לוֹא-שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יקוק א-לקיו, וְלֹא לָקְחוּ, מוּסָר; אָבְדָה, הָאֱמוּנָה, וְנִכְרְתָה, מִפִּיהֶם. 28 Therefore thou shalt say unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction; faithfulness is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
