²⁶ The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ²⁷ “Behold, I am the Lord, ^(A)the God of all flesh. ^(B)Is anything too hard for me? ²⁸ Therefore, thus says the Lord: ^(C)Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it. ²⁹ The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city ^(D)shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, ^(E)with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal ^(F)and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, ^(G)to provoke me to anger. ³⁰ For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight ^(H)from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but ^(I)provoke me to anger ^(J)by the work of their hands, declares the Lord. ³¹ This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, ^(K)so that I will remove it from my sight ³² because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—^(L)their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ^33 (M)They have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them ^(N)persistently, they have not listened ^(O)to receive instruction. ³⁴ They set up ^(P)their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. ³⁵ They built the high places of Baal ^(Q)in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ^(R)to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, ^(S)though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do ^(T)this abomination, ^(U)to cause Judah to sin.
