Jeremiah's Proclamation At The Gate Of The House Of Yahweh
22 But when I brought your fathers out of Egypt, I spake no word unto them of burnt offerings and sacrifices: 23 but this I commanded them, saying, 'Hearken and obey my voice, and I shall be your God, and ye shall be my people: so that ye walk in all the ways, which I have commanded you, that ye may prosper.' 24 But they were not obedient. They inclined not their ears thereunto, but went after their own imaginations and after the motions of their own wicked heart: and so turned themselves away, and converted not unto me.
