Jeremiah 32:28-35

Jeremiah 32:28-35

[28] Therefore thus saith  the LORD;  Behold, I will give  this city  into the hand  of the Chaldeans,  and into the hand  of Nebuchadrezzar  king  of Babylon,  and he shall take  [29] And the Chaldeans,  that fight  against this city,  shall come  and set  fire  on this city,  and burn  it with the houses,  upon whose roofs  they have offered incense  unto Baal,  and poured out  drink offerings  unto other  gods,  to provoke me to anger.  [30] For the children  of Israel  and the children  of Judah  have only done  evil  before  me from their youth:  for the children  of Israel  have only provoked me to anger  with the work  of their hands,  saith  the LORD.  [31] For this city  hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger  and of my fury  from the day  that they built  it even unto this day;  that I should remove  it from before my face,  [32] Because of all the evil  of the children  of Israel  and of the children  of Judah,  which they have done  to provoke me to anger,  they, their kings,  their princes,  their priests,  and their prophets,  and the men  of Judah,  and the inhabitants  of Jerusalem.  [33] And they have turned  unto me the back,  and not the face:  though I taught  them, rising up early  and teaching  them, yet they have not hearkened  to receive  instruction.  [34] But they set  their abominations  in the house,  which is called  by my name,  to defile  [35] And they built  the high places  of Baal,  which are in the valley  of the son  of Hinnom,  to cause their sons  and their daughters  to pass  through the fire unto Molech;  which I commanded  them not, neither came  it into my mind,  that they should do  this abomination,  to cause Judah  to sin.
