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.”
