Jeremiah 7:23-28
7:23 I also explicitly commanded them:
“Obey me. If you do, I
will be your God and you will be my people. Live exactly the way I tell you
and things will go well with you.”
7:24 But they did not listen to me or pay any attention to me. They followed the stubborn inclinations of their own wicked hearts. They acted worse and worse instead of better.
7:25 From the time your ancestors departed the land of Egypt until now,
I sent my servants the prophets to you again and again,
day after day.
7:26 But your ancestors
did not listen to me nor pay attention to me. They became obstinate
and were more wicked than even their own forefathers.’”
7:27 Then the Lord said to me, “When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not respond to you.
7:28 So tell them: ‘This is a nation that has not obeyed the Lord their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore.
Psalms 125:5
125:5 As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path,
may the Lord remove them, along with those who behave wickedly!
May Israel experience peace!

Ezekiel 33:18
33:18 When a righteous man turns from his godliness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
