Bible. Jeremiah
24:032:029 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come
and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon
whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured
out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
24:032:030 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only
done evil before me from their youth: for the children of
Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their
hands, saith the LORD.
24:032:031 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger
and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this
day; that I should remove it from before my face,
24:032:032 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the
children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to
anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and
their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem.
24:032:033 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face:
though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet
they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
24:032:034 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called
by my name, to defile it.
24:032:035 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their
daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I
commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they
should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
24:032:036 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel,
concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the
famine, and by the pestilence;
24:032:037 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I
have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great
wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will
cause them to dwell safely:
24:032:038 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
24:032:039 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may
fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children
after them:
24:032:040 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will
not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my
fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
24:032:041 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will
plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with
my whole soul.
