1
This message for all the people of Judah came to Jeremiah from the LORD during the fourth year of Jehoiakim's reign a over Judah. This was the year when King Nebuchadnezzar b of Babylon began his reign.
2
Jeremiah the prophet said to the people in Judah and Jerusalem,
3
"For the past twenty-three years -- from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, c king of Judah, until now -- the LORD has been giving me his messages. I have faithfully passed them on to you, but you have not listened.
4
"Again and again, the LORD has sent you his prophets, but you have not listened or even tried to hear.
5
Each time the message was this: 'Turn from the evil road you are traveling and from the evil things you are doing. Only then will I let you live in this land that the LORD gave to you and your ancestors forever.
6
Do not make me angry by worshiping the idols you have made. Then I will not harm you.'
7
"But you would not listen to me," says the LORD. "You made me furious by worshiping your idols, bringing on yourselves all the disasters you now suffer.
