Jeremiah 11:6-8

New King James Version

⁶ Then the Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: ‘Hear the words of this covenant ^(A)and do them. ⁷ For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, ^(B)rising early and exhorting, saying, “Obey My voice.” ^8 (C)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but ^(D)everyone ^[a]followed the dictates of his evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they have not done.’ ”
