24:032:022 And hast given them this land, which thou
didst swear to their
fathers
to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
24:032:023 And they came in, and possessed it; but
they obeyed not thy
voice,
neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of
all
that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou
hast
caused
all this evil to come upon them:
24:032:024 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the
city to take it; and
the
city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that
fight
against
it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of
the
pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come
to pass;
and,
behold, thou seest it.
24:032:025 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord god,
Buy thee the field for
money,
and take witnesses; for the city is given into the
hand
of
the Chaldeans.
24:032:026 Then came the word of the lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
24:032:027 Behold, I am the lord, the God of
all flesh: is there any
thing
too hard for me?
24:032:028 Therefore thus saith the lord; Behold,
I will give this city
into
the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
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.
