Context of 2 Chronicles 36:14

12And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yhwh his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yhwh. 13And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto Yhwh God of Israel. Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of Yhwh which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 15And Yhwh God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: 16But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of Yhwh arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
