Jeremiah 44:20-22

Lexham English Bible

²⁰ Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and to the women, and to all the people who answered him a word, saying,^{[a] 21} “The offering that you made, smoke offerings in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your ancestors,^[b] your kings, and your officials, and the people of the land, did not Yahweh remember them, and did it not come to his mind?^{[c] 22} And Yahweh was no longer able to bear^[d] it, because of^[e] the evil of your deeds, because of^[f] the detestable things that you committed. Thus your land became as a site of ruins, and as a horror, and as a curse, without^[g] inhabitants, as it is this day.
