Jeremiah 32:27-29
International Children’s Bible
27 “I am the Lord. I am the God of every person on the earth. You know that nothing is impossible for me. 28 So this is what I say: I will soon give the city of Jerusalem to the Babylonian army. And I will give it to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. That army will capture the city. 29 The Babylonian army is already attacking the city of Jerusalem. They will soon enter the city and start a fire to burn down the city. They will also burn down the houses. The people of Jerusalem made me angry. They offered sacrifices to Baal on the roofs[a] of their houses. And the people poured out drink offerings to other idols.
