Jeremiah 44:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ I sent all my servants, the prophets, to you again and again. By them I said to you, ‘Don’t do this ·terrible [abominable] thing that I hate.’ ⁵ But they did not listen or ·pay attention [^Lincline their ear]. They did not ·stop doing [turn back from] evil things and burning incense to other gods. ⁶ So I showed my great anger against them. I poured out my anger in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem so they are only ruins and ·piles of stones [a desolation] today.
