2 Chronicles 36:14-16

International Standard Version

Nebuchadnezzar’s Third Capture of Jerusalem^(A)

¹⁴ Meanwhile, all the officials who supervised the priests and the people remained unfaithful, following the detestable example of the surrounding nations. They polluted the Lord’s Temple that he had consecrated in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ The Lord God of their ancestors pleaded with them time and again through his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on the place of his residence, ¹⁶ but they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until there was no remedy for the wrath of the Lord that arose to punish^[a] his people.
