2 Chronicles 36:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Also, all the ·leaders [officials] of the priests and the people of Judah became more ·wicked [unfaithful], following the ·evil example [detestable/abominable practices] of the other nations. The Lord had ·made holy [consecrated; sanctified] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] in Jerusalem, but the leaders ·made it unholy [defiled/polluted it].

The Fall of Jerusalem

¹⁵ The Lord, the God of their ·ancestors [fathers], sent ·prophets [^Lmessengers] again and again to warn his people, because he had ·pity [compassion] on them and on his ·Temple [dwelling place]. ¹⁶ But they ·made fun of [mocked] God’s ·prophets [^Lmessengers] and hated God’s ·messages [^Lwords]. They ·refused to listen to the [ridiculed/scoffed at his] prophets until, finally, the Lord became so angry with his people that ·he could not be stopped [there was no remedy/^Lhealer].
