Jeremias 11:8
And they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear: but walked every one in the perverseness of his own wicked heart: and I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam, sed abierunt, unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali : et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti hujus quod præcepi ut facerent, et non fecerunt.
