Jeremiah 44:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised
7 And now thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil (A)against yourselves, to cut off from you (B)man and woman, (C)infant and child, from the midst of Judah, leaving you no remnant? 8 (D)Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, (E)making offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live, so that you may be cut off and become (F)a curse and a taunt among all the nations of the earth? 9 Have you forgotten the evil of your fathers, (G)the evil of the kings of Judah, (H)the evil of their[a] wives, your own evil, (I)and the evil of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

King James Version
7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
