Jeremiah 32:28-35

28Therefore, thus says the Lord: aBehold, 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. 29The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city bshall come and set this city on fire and burn it, cwith the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal dand drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, eto provoke me to anger. 30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight ffrom their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but gprovoke me to anger hby the work of their hands, declares the Lord. 31This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, iso that I will remove it from my sight 32because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to angerjtheir kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 kThey have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them lpersistently, they have not listened mto receive instruction. 34They set up ntheir abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35They built the high places of Baal oin the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, pto offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, qthough I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do rthis abomination, sto cause Judah to sin.
