Jeremiah 44:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women and to all the people who had given him that answer—

²¹ The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land—did not the Lord [earnestly] remember [your idolatrous wickedness] and did it not come into His mind?

²² The Lord could no longer endure the evil of your doings and the abominations which you have committed; because of them therefore has your land become a desolation and an [astonishing] waste and a curse, without inhabitants, as it is this day.
