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.

  1. Jeremiah 32:33 Lit to

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.”
