Jeremiah 44:4-6

The Voice

⁴ Time after time I would send My servants, the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, stop doing these disgusting things. You know I hate them!’ ⁵ Still they refused to listen and ignored what I had to say; they refused to abandon their wicked ways and kept burning incense to other gods. ⁶ Therefore, My hot anger was poured out; it raged and burned its way through the towns and villages of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. That is why they are a desolate wasteland today.”
