all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according
to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
032:020 who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
even to this day, both in Israel and among [other] men;
and made you a name, as in this day;
032:021 and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt
with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand,
and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
032:022 and gave them this land, which you did swear to their fathers
to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
032:023 and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn't
obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have
done nothing of all that you commanded them to do:
therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.
032:024 Behold, the mounds, they are come to the city to take it;
and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who
fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine,
and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened;
and behold, you see it.
032:025 You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy you the field for money,
and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand
of the Chaldeans.
032:026 Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,
032:027 Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything
too hard for me?
032:028 Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into
the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
032:029 and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come
and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses,
on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured
out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
032:030 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have
done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth;
for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger
with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.
032:031 For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of
my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day;
that I should remove it from before my face,
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.
032:033 They have turned to me the back, and not the face:
and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them,
yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
032:034 But they set their abominations in the house which is called
by my name, to defile it.
