Jeremiah 44:5-7

The Voice

⁵ Still they refused to listen and ignored what I had to say; they refused to abandon their wicked ways and kept burning incense to other gods. ⁶ Therefore, My hot anger was poured out; it raged and burned its way through the towns and villages of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. That is why they are a desolate wasteland today.”

⁷ And now the Eternal God, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, asks: “Why are you doing this to yourselves again? Why are you bringing further disaster upon yourselves and all your people? For there will be no man or woman, no infant or child who will survive this onslaught and return to Judah from this place.
