Psalm 95:1-9
1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior. 2 Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms. 3 For the Lord is a great God and a great King over all gods. 4 For in his hand are all the limits of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his. 5 For the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Come, let us adore and fall prostrate, and let us weep before the Lord who made us. 7 For he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. 8 If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts: 9 as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me, though they had seen my works. Jeremiah 7:23-28 23 But on this matter I did instruct them, saying: Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. And walk in the entire way that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you. 24 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they walked by their own will and in the depravity of their own wicked heart. And so, they went backward, and not forward, 25 from the day when their fathers went forth from the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent all my servants, the prophets, to you, throughout the day, rising at first light and sending them. 26 But they have not listened to me, nor have they inclined their ear. Instead, they have stiffened their neck, and they have behaved worse than their fathers did. 27 And so, you will speak to them all these words, but they will not listen to you. And you will call to them, but they will not respond to you. 28 And you will say to them: This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor accepted discipline. Faith has perished and been taken away from their mouth.
