Parallel
Jeremiah 7:24
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination (note: Or, stubbornness) of their evil heart, and went (note: Heb. were) backward, and not forward.
Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
