2 Chronicles 36:14-16

14All the leaders of the priests and people became more unfaithful and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations. They defiled the Lord’s temple which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.

15The Lord God of their ancestors continually warned them through his messengers, for he felt compassion for his people and his dwelling place.

16But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his warnings, and ridiculed his prophets. Finally the Lord got very angry at his people and there was no one who could prevent his judgment.
