Jeremiah 32:28–35

²⁸So this is what the Lord says: I will soon hand over the city of Jerusalem to the Babylonian army and to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it. ²⁹The Babylonian army is already attacking the city of Jerusalem. They will soon enter it and start a fire to burn down the city and its houses. The people of Jerusalem offered sacrifices to Baal on the roofs ⁿ of those same houses and poured out drink offerings to other idols to make me angry. ³⁰From their youth, the people of Israel and Judah have done only the things I said were wrong. They have made me angry by worshiping idols made with their own hands,” says the Lord. ³¹“From the day Jerusalem was built until now, this city has made me angry, so angry that I must remove it from my sight. ³²I will destroy it, because of all the evil the people of Israel and Judah have done. The people, their kings and officers, their priests and prophets, all the people of Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have made me angry. ³³They turned their backs to me, not their faces. I tried to teach them again and again, but they wouldn’t listen or learn. ³⁴They put their hateful idols in the place where I have chosen to be worshiped, so they made it unclean. ³⁵In the Valley of Ben Hinnom they built places to worship Baal so they could burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices to Molech. But I never commanded them to do such a hateful thing. It never entered my mind that they would do such a thing and cause Judah to sin.
