Jeremiah 7:21-23

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Obedience over Sacrifice

²¹ This is what the Lord of Armies, 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. Follow every way I command you so that it may go well with you.” ^(C)
