Jeremiah 7:22-24: "For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward."

These are not the words modern believers would expect of a God who knew himself to the the only god in existence. God was saying that if the Israelites obeyed him, he would become their own God, to the exclusion of all other people on earth. Jeremiah says that the Israelites refused to accept this offer.
