Discovery BoxJeremiah 7:28 
Context7:28 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. 1
Jeremiah 32:33
Context32:33 They have turned away from me instead of turning to me. 2 I tried over and over again 3 to instruct them, but they did not listen and respond to correction. 4
1 tn Heb “Faithfulness has vanished. It is cut off from their lips.”
sn For the need for faithfulness see 5:1, 3.
2 tn Heb “they have turned [their] backs to me, not [their] faces.” Compare the same idiom in 2:27.
3 tn For the idiom involved here see the translator’s note on 7:13. The verb that introduces this clause is a Piel infinitive absolute which is functioning in place of the finite verb (see, e.g., GKC 346 §113.ff and compare usage in Jer 8:15; 14:19. This grammatical point means that the versions cited in BHS fn a may not be reading a different text after all, but may merely be interpreting the form as syntactically equivalent to a finite verb as the present translation has done.).
sn This refers to God teaching them through the prophets whom he has sent as indicated by the repeated use of this idiom elsewhere in 7:13, 25; 11:7; 25:3, 4; 26:5, 19.
4 tn Heb “But they were not listening so as to accept correction.”
