Jeremiah 44:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.

⁴ And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.

⁵ But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.
