Jeremiah 16:12

12 But you have done even worse than your ancestors. All of you are stubborn and evil, and you do not obey me.

Jeremiah 16:12 In-Context

10 "When you tell them all this, they will ask you why I have decided to punish them so harshly. They will ask what crime they are guilty of and what sin they have committed against the Lord their God.
11 Then tell them that the Lord has said, "Your ancestors turned away from me and worshiped and served other gods. They abandoned me and did not obey my teachings.
12 But you have done even worse than your ancestors. All of you are stubborn and evil, and you do not obey me.
13 So then, I will throw you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have ever known. And there you will serve other gods day and night, and I will show you no mercy.' "
14 The Lord says, "The time is coming when people will no longer swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
