2 Chronicles 36:15-17

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.

17He brought against them the king of the Babylonians, who slaughtered their young men in their temple. He did not spare young men or women, or even the old and aging. God handed everyone over to him.
