Jeremiah 32:28–35

^28*I am going to give this city over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his army; they will capture it ²⁹and set it on fire. They will burn it down, together with the houses where people have made me angry by burning incense to Baal on the rooftops and by pouring out wine offerings to other gods. ³⁰From the very beginning of their history the people of Israel and the people of Judah have displeased me and made me angry by what they have done. ³¹The people of this city have made me angry and furious from the day it was built. I have decided to destroy it ³²because of all the evil that has been done by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with their kings and leaders, their priests and prophets. ³³They turned their backs on me; and though I kept on teaching them, they would not listen and learn. ^34*They even placed their disgusting idols in the Temple built for my worship, and they have defiled it. ^35*They have built altars to Baal in the Valley of Hinnom, to sacrifice their sons and daughters to the god Molech. I did not command them to do this, and it did not even enter my mind that they would do such a thing and make the people of Judah sin.”
