Jeremiah 44:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ It is because the people who lived there did evil. They made me angry by burning incense and ·worshiping [serving] other gods that neither they nor you nor your ·ancestors [fathers] ever knew. ⁴ I sent all my servants, the prophets, to you again and again. By them I said to you, ‘Don’t do this ·terrible [abominable] thing that I hate.’ ⁵ But they did not listen or ·pay attention [^Lincline their ear]. They did not ·stop doing [turn back from] evil things and burning incense to other gods.
