Jeremiah 32:28-35

28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: ^dBehold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it. 29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city ^eshall come and set this city on fire and burn it, ^fwith the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal ^gand drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, ^hto provoke me to anger. 30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight ⁱfrom their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but ^jprovoke me to anger ^kby the work of their hands, declares the Lord. 31 This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, ^lso that I will remove it from my sight 32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger— ^mtheir kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 ⁿThey have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them ^opersistently, they have not listened ^pto receive instruction. 34 They set up ^qtheir abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal ^rin the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ^sto offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, ^tthough I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do ^uthis abomination, ^vto cause Judah to sin.

Hosea 9:12-17

12 ^agEven if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
^ahWoe to them
when ^aiI depart from them!
13 Ephraim, ^ajas I have seen, was like a young palm ^{▼▼Or like Tyre} planted in a meadow;
but ^alEphraim must lead his children out to slaughter. ^{▼▼Hebrew to him who slaughters}
14 Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them ^ana miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in ^aoGilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all ^aptheir princes are ^aqrebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
^artheir root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even ^asthough they give birth,
^atI will put their beloved children to death.
17 ^auMy God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
^avthey shall be wanderers among the nations.
