2 Chronicles 36:14-20

14Moreover all the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, trespassed very greatlyH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471; and they polluted the houseH1004 of Jehovah which he had hallowed in JerusalemH3389. 15And Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, sentH7971 to them by his messengersH4397, risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971, because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling-place: 16but they mocked the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and scoffed at his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of Jehovah arose against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedy.
