30 For the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth; the people of Israel have done nothing but provoke me to anger by the work of their hands, says the Lord.(A) 31 This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built until this day, so that I will remove it from my sight(B) 32 because of all the evil of the people of Israel and the people of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.(C) 33 They have turned their backs to me, not their faces; though I have taught them persistently, they would not listen and accept correction.(D) 34 They set up their abominations in the house that bears my name and defiled it.(E) 35 They built the high places of Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter my mind that they should do this abomination, causing Judah to sin.(F)

30 “The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth;(A) indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but arouse my anger(B) with what their hands have made,(C) declares the Lord. 31 From the day it was built until now, this city(D) has so aroused my anger and wrath that I must remove(E) it from my sight. 32 The people of Israel and Judah have provoked(F) me by all the evil(G) they have done—they, their kings and officials,(H) their priests and prophets, the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs(I) to me and not their faces; though I taught(J) them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.(K) 34 They set up their vile images(L) in the house that bears my Name(M) and defiled(N) it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(O) to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek,(P) though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind(Q)—that they should do such a detestable(R) thing and so make Judah sin.(S)

30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.

31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

14 They would not listen but were stubborn, as their ancestors had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God.(A) 15 They despised his statutes and his covenant that he had made with their ancestors and the warnings that he had given them. They went after false idols and became false; they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.(B) 16 They rejected all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves cast images of two calves; they made a sacred pole,[a] worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.(C) 17 They made their sons and their daughters pass through fire, used divination and augury, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.(D)

  1. 17.16 Or Asherah

14 But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked(A) as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God. 15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant(B) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols(C) and themselves became worthless.(D) They imitated the nations(E) around them although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”

16 They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves,(F) and an Asherah(G) pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts,(H) and they worshiped Baal.(I) 17 They sacrificed(J) their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sought omens(K) and sold(L) themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.

14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God.

15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them.

16 And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
