Jeremiah 44:21-23
New American Standard Bible
21 “As for the [a](A)smoking sacrifices that you burned in the cities of Judah and in the (B)streets of Jerusalem, you and your forefathers, your kings and your leaders, and the people of the land, did the Lord not (C)remember them, and did all of this not come into His [b]mind? 22 So the Lord was (D)no longer able to endure it, (E)because of the evil of your deeds, because of the abominations which you have committed; so your land has become a (F)place of ruins, an object of horror, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as it is this day. 23 Since you have burned [c]sacrifices and have sinned against the Lord and (G)not obeyed the voice of the Lord nor (H)walked in His Law, His statutes, or His testimonies, therefore this (I)disaster has happened to you, as it has this day.”
