Jeremiah 32:26-35

Legacy Standard Bible

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.
