Jeremiah 32:28-35

28Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to hand this city over to the Chaldeans, to Babylon’s king Nebuchadnezzar, and he will capture it.

29The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come and set this city on fire. They will burn it, including the houses where incense has been burned to Baal on their rooftops and where drink offerings have been poured out to other gods to anger me.

30From their youth, the Israelites and Judeans have done nothing but what is evil in my sight! They have done nothing but anger me by the work of their hands”  — this is the Lord’s declaration —

31“for this city has caused my wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. I will therefore remove it from my presence

32because of all the evil the Israelites and Judeans have done to anger me — they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.

33They have turned their backs to me and not their faces. Though I taught them time and time again, they do not listen and receive discipline.

34They have placed their abhorrent things in the house that bears my name and have defiled it.

35They have built the high places of Baal in Ben Hinnom Valley to sacrifice their sons and daughters in the fire to Molech  — something I had not commanded them. I had never entertained the thought that they do this detestable act causing Judah to sin!
