2 Chronicles 36:14-17

English Standard Version

¹⁴ All the officers of the priests and the people likewise were exceedingly unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations. And they polluted the house of the Lord that he had made holy in Jerusalem.

¹⁵ The Lord, the God of their fathers, ^(A)sent persistently to them by his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place. ^16 (B)But they kept mocking the messengers of God, ^(C)despising his words and scoffing at his prophets, ^(D)until the wrath of the Lord rose against his people, until there was no remedy.

Jerusalem Captured and Burned

^17 (E)Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged. He gave them all into his hand.
