Jeremiah 44:2-7

2Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 1God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and behold they are, this day, a waste, and no man dwelleth therein,

3because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense to serve other 2gods which they knew not, they, [nor] ye, nor your fathers.

4And I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing which I hate!

5But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other 3gods.

6And my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are become a waste, a desolation, as at this day.

7And now thus saith Jehovah the 4God of hosts, the 5God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you no remnant;
