Jeremiah 32:26-36

26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
27 "Behold, I am the LORD, the 1God of all flesh; is anything * 2too difficult for Me?"
28 Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am about to 3give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
29 "The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will enter and 4set this city on fire and burn it, with the 5houses where people have offered incense to Baal on their roofs and poured out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
30 "Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only 6evil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only 7provoking Me to anger by the work of their hands," declares the LORD.
31 "Indeed this city has been to Me a 8provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be 9removed from before My face,
32 because 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 10kings, their leaders, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 "They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, 11teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction.
34 "But they 12put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.
35 "They built the 13high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom * to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to 14Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 "Now therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning this city of which you say, 'It is 15given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine and by pestilence.'
