Jeremiah 44:3-5

International Standard Version

³ because of the^[a] wickedness that they did, provoking me to anger by continuing to offer sacrifices and worship other gods that neither they nor you nor your ancestors had known. ⁴ Yet I sent all my servants the prophets to you again and again,^[b] saying, “Don’t do this repulsive thing that I hate.” ⁵ ‘But they didn’t listen or pay attention^[c] by turning from their wickedness and not offering sacrifices to other gods.
