Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk you in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you.

Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

Therefore you shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
