Jeremiah 22:21Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionI spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear. This hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice. 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.
And I had brought them into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it them. They saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings and there they set their sweet odours and poured forth their libations.
