Jeremiah 11:8Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionAnd they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear: but walked every one in the perverseness of his own wicked heart. And I brought upon them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them to do: but they did them not. See the chapter |
And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending and saying: Return ye every man from his wicked way and make your ways good, and follow not strange gods nor worship them: and you shall dwell in the land: which I gave you and your fathers. And you have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
