Jeremiah 44:3-5

Good News Translation

³ because their people had done evil and had made me angry. They offered sacrifices to other gods and served gods that neither they nor you nor your ancestors ever worshiped. ⁴ I kept sending you my servants the prophets, who told you not to do this terrible thing that I hate. ⁵ But you would not listen or pay any attention. You would not give up your evil practice of sacrificing to other gods.
