Jeremiah 44:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ When you were living in Jerusalem and Judah, you followed the example of your ancestors in doing evil things, just like your kings and queens. ¹⁰ Even now, your pride keeps you from respecting me and obeying the laws and teachings I gave you and your ancestors.

¹¹ I, the Lord All-Powerful, have decided to wipe you out with disasters.
