Jeremiah 44:20-23
Legacy Standard Bible
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and women—even to all the people who were answering him with such a word—saying, 21 “As for the [a](A)smoking sacrifices that you offered in the cities of Judah and in the (B)streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Yahweh (C)remember them and did not all this come upon His heart? 22 So Yahweh was (D)no longer able to bear it, (E)because of the evil of your deeds, because of the abominations which you have done; thus your land has become a (F)waste place, an object of horror, and an imprecation, without an inhabitant, as it is this day. 23 Because you have burned incense and have sinned against Yahweh and (G)not listened to the voice of Yahweh or (H)walked in His law, His statutes, or His testimonies, therefore this (I)evil has befallen you, as it has this day.”

Jeremiah 44:20-23
New Living Translation
20 Then Jeremiah said to all of them, men and women alike, who had given him that answer, 21 “Do you think the Lord did not know that you and your ancestors, your kings and officials, and all the people were burning incense to idols in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 22 It was because the Lord could no longer bear all the disgusting things you were doing that he made your land an object of cursing—a desolate ruin without inhabitants—as it is today. 23 All these terrible things happened to you because you have burned incense to idols and sinned against the Lord. You have refused to obey him and have not followed his instructions, his decrees, and his laws.”
