Jeremiah 11:9

The Broken Covenant

⁸ Yet they did not obey or incline their ear [to listen to Me], but everyone walked in the stubborn way of his [own] evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all [the suffering threatened in] the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.’” ⁹ Then the Lord said to me, “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the people of Jerusalem. ¹⁰ They have returned to the wickedness of their ancestors who refused to hear My words; they have followed other gods [in order] to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My [solemn] covenant which I made with their fathers.”
