Jeremiah 44:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ Yet I sent to you all My servants the prophets earnestly and persistently, saying, Oh, do not do this loathsome and shamefully vile thing that I hate and abhor!

⁵ But they did not listen and obey or submit and consent to turn from their wickedness and burn no incense to other gods.

⁶ Therefore My wrath and My anger were poured out and were kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became wasted and desolate, as it is this day.
