Jeremiah 7:21-26

“ ‘This is what the LORD All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: Offer burnt offerings along with your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves! When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, I did not speak to them and give them commands only about burnt offerings and sacrifices. I also gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Do all that I command so that good things will happen to you. But your ancestors did not listen or pay attention to me. They were stubborn and did whatever their evil hearts wanted. They went backward, not forward. Since the day your ancestors left Egypt, I have sent my servants, the prophets, again and again to you. But your ancestors did not listen or pay attention to me. They were very stubborn and did more evil than their ancestors.’
