Jeremiah 44:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ But they did not listen or ·pay attention [^Lincline their ear]. They did not ·stop doing [turn back from] evil things and burning incense to other gods. ⁶ So I showed my great anger against them. I poured out my anger in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem so they are only ruins and ·piles of stones [a desolation] today.

⁷ “Now the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great ·harm [damage; evil] to yourselves? You are cutting off the men and women, children and ·babies [suckling infants] from the ·family [^Lmidst] of Judah, leaving yourselves without ·anyone from the family of Judah [^La remnant].
