Jeremiah 32:26-35

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ Listen to me. I am the Lord, the God who rules over all flesh. Is there anything that is too difficult for me? ²⁸ Therefore, this is what the Lord says. Watch, I am going to hand over this city to the Chaldeans and to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will capture it. ²⁹ The Chaldeans who attack this city will come and set fire to it. They will burn it, along with the houses. People offered incense to Baal on those rooftops, and they poured out drink offerings to other gods there, and they provoked me to anger.

³⁰ For the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight ever since their youth. The people of Israel have committed only evil with what their hands have made, declares the Lord. ³¹ Because this city has aroused my anger and wrath from the day it was built until now, I will remove it from my sight. ³² The people of Israel and the people of Judah have provoked me by all the evil they have done—they, their kings, their officials, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the people of Jerusalem. ³³ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they did not listen to me or accept correction. ³⁴ They set up their disgusting things in the house that bears my name, and they defiled it. ³⁵ They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molek, something I did not command them to do. It did not enter my mind that they would do such a disgusting thing and cause Judah to sin.
