Expanded Bible

The people of Jerusalem ·offered sacrifices [or burned incense] to Baal [^Cthe chief God of the Canaanites] on the roofs [^Cflat roofs were living space] of those same houses and poured out drink offerings to other idols to make me angry. ³⁰ From their youth, the ·people [^Lsons] of Israel and Judah have done only ·the things I said were wrong [^Levil] in my eyes. They have made me angry by ·worshiping idols made with [^Lthe works of] their own hands,” says the Lord. ³¹ “From the day this city was built until now, this city has made me angry, so angry that I must remove it from ·my sight [before me].
