Jeremiah 44:2-7

2“This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: YouH859 have seenH7200 allH3605 the disasterH7451 thatH834 I broughtH935 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389H5921 and allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; and beholdH2005, they lie today in ruinsH2723H3117 andH2088 desolationH369H3427 3because ofH6440 the evilH7451 they have doneH6213.

They provoked Me to angerH3707 by continuingH1980 to burn incenseH6999 and to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 that neitherH3808 theyH1992 nor youH859 nor your fathersH1 ever knewH3045. 4Yet I sentH7971 youH413 allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030 again and againH7925H7971,1 sayingH559: ‘Do notH408H4994 doH6213 thisH2063 detestableH8441 thingH1697 thatH834 I hateH8130.’

5But they did notH3808 listenH8085 or inclineH5186 their earsH241; they did notH3808 turnH7725 from their wickednessH7451 or stopH1115 burning incenseH6999 to otherH312 godsH430. 6Therefore My wrathH2534 and angerH639 poured outH5413 and burnedH1197 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, so that they have becomeH1961 the desolateH2723 ruinH8077 they are todayH3117H2088.

7So nowH6258, this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: WhyH4100 are youH859 doingH6213 such greatH1419 harmH7451 toH413 yourselvesH5315 by cutting offH3772 fromH8432 JudahH3063 manH376 and womanH802, childH5768 and infantH3243, leavingH3498 yourselves withoutH1115 a remnantH7611?
