Jeremiah 32:30–35

³⁰“Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only ^aevil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only ^bprovoking Me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares Yahweh.

³¹“Indeed this city has been to Me a ^aprovocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be ^bremoved from before My face

³²because 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 ^akings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

³³“And they have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, ^arising up early and teaching, they would not listen ¹and receive discipline.

³⁴“But they ^aput their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.

³⁵“And they built the ^ahigh places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to ^bMolech, which I had not commanded them, nor had it come upon My heart that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
