Jeremiah 7:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Obedience Over Sacrifice

²¹ This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves,^{(A) 22} for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them^(B) or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice. ²³ However, I did give them this command: Obey Me, and then I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must follow every way I command you so that it may go well with you.^(C)
