³¹ “Indeed this city has been to Me a ^(A)provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be ^(B)removed from before My face, ³² because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their ^(C)kings, their leaders, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ³³ They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, ^[a](D)teaching again and again, they would not listen ^[b]and receive instruction.
