Jeremiah 32:26-35
International Standard Version
Prophecy of Jerusalem’s Fall
26 Then this message from the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “Look, I am the Lord, the God who rules over all flesh. Is anything too difficult for me?” 28 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: “I’m about to give this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and he will capture it. 29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come, set this city on fire, and burn it along with the houses on whose roofs incense was burned to Baal and liquid offerings were poured out to other gods in order to provoke me. 30 Indeed, the Israelis[a] and Judeans[b] have been doing only evil in my presence since their youth. Indeed, the Israelis have done nothing but provoke me by what they have made with their hands,” declares the Lord.
31 “Indeed, this city has provoked me to anger and wrath from the day they built it until now, and so I’ll remove it[c] from my sight 32 because of all the evil that the Israelis and Judeans have done to provoke me. They, their kings, their officials, their priests, their prophets, the people of Judah, and those living in Jerusalem have done these things.[d] 33 They have turned their backs to me rather than their faces. Even though I taught them, teaching them again and again,[e] they didn’t listen to accept correction. 34 They put their detestable idols in the house that is called by my name and defiled it. 35 They built the high places of Baal that are in the Hinnom Valley[f] in order to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech—something that I didn’t command, nor did it ever enter my mind for them to require this utterly repugnant thing—and lead Judah into sin.”

Jeremiah 32:26-35
Lexham English Bible
26 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,[a] 27 “Look, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh; is anything[b] too difficult for me?” 28 Therefore[c] thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will capture it. 29 And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and they will burn it, and the houses where they have made smoke offerings on their roofs to Baal, and where they have devoted libations to other gods, in order to provoke me to anger. 30 For the people[d] of Israel and the people[e] of Judah were doing only evil in my eyes from their youth, for the people[f] of Israel were only provoking me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares[g] Yahweh.
31 “For this city has been for me a cause of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even until this day, so I will remove it from my sight,[h] 32 because of all the evil of the people[i] of Israel and the people[j] of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, and the men[k] of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 And they have turned to me their backs[l] and not their faces, though I have taught them over and over again,[m] but they were not listening to accept discipline. 34 And they set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 And they built the high places of Baal that are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to present as offerings their sons and their daughters to Molech, which I had not commanded them, and it had not come to my mind[n] to do this detestable thing in order to cause Judah to sin.”
