Jeremiah 44:20-22

21st Century King James Version

²⁰ Then Jeremiah said unto all the people — to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying,

²¹ “The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the Lord remember them, and came it not into His mind?

²² So the Lord could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which ye have committed. Therefore your land is a desolation, and an astonishment and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
