Jeremiah 7:24 in Context — Jeremiah 7

22 Pois não falei a vossos pais, nem lhes mandei, no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egito, coisa alguma sobre holocaustos ou sacrifícios;

23 porém isto lhes mandei, dizendo: Escutai a minha voz, e eu serei vosso Deus, e vós sereis meu povo; e andai em todo o caminho que eu vos mandar, para que o bem vos aconteça.

24 Mas eles não ouviram, nem inclinaram seus ouvidos; ao invés disso, caminharam em [seus próprios] conselhos, na teimosia de seu coração maligno, e foram para trás, e não para frente.

25 Desde o dia em que vossos pais saíram da terra do Egito até hoje, eu vos enviei a todos os meus servos os profetas, e enviando-os dia após dia.

26 Mas eles não me ouviram, nem inclinaram seu ouvidos; ao invés disso, teimaram ainda mais, e fizeram pior que seus pais.
