Jeremiah 44:2–4

2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘You yourselves have seen all the calamity that I have brought on Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are in aruins and no one lives in them,

3 abecause of their wickedness which they committed so as to bprovoke Me to anger by continuing to cburn 1sacrifices and to dserve other gods whom they had not known, neither they, you, nor your fathers.

4 ‘Yet I asent you all My servants the prophets, 1again and again, saying, “Oh, do not do this babominable thing which I hate.”
