26 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying, 27 “Behold, I am Yahweh, the (A)God of all flesh; is anything (B)too difficult for Me?” 28 Therefore thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I am about to (C)give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will capture it. 29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will enter and (D)set this city on fire and burn it, with the (E)houses where people have burned incense to Baal on their roofs and poured out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger. 30 Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only (F)evil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only (G)provoking Me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares Yahweh. 31 “Indeed this city has been to Me a (H)provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be (I)removed from before My face 32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their (J)kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 And they have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, (K)rising up early and teaching, they would not listen [a]and receive discipline. 34 But they (L)put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 35 And they built the (M)high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to (N)Molech, which I had not commanded them, nor had it come upon My heart that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
