Context of Jeremiah 32:31
29Then the Chaldeans fighting against this city will come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses—where they burned incense to Baal on their roofs and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke Me. 30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, the children of Israel have done nothing but provoke Me with the work of their hands,” declares Adonai. “Indeed this city has caused My anger and of My fury from the day that they built it up to this day, so that I will remove it from before My face, 32because of all the evil the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done to provoke Me—they, their kings, their princes, their kohanim, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33“They have turned their back to Me and not their face. Though I taught them early and often, they have not listened to receive instruction.
