2 Chronicles 36:11-16
111Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. 12He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God; 2he did not humble himself 3before Jeremiah the prophet 4who spoke for the Lord. 135He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear allegiance by God. But 6he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel. 14Furthermore, all the officials of the priests and the people were very unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of the Lord which He had sanctified in Jerusalem.
15Yet the Lord, the God of their fathers, 7sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; 16but they continually 8mocked the messengers of God, 9despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, 10until the wrath of the Lord rose against His people, until there was no remedy.
