Jer.32.20 blas

Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

Jer.32.23 blas

But when they entered the land and took it over, they didn't listen to you. They didn't do what you commanded. They wouldn't listen to a thing you told them. And so you brought this disaster on them.

Jer.32.23 blas

because the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have provoked Me only to anger with the work of their hands,' says the LORD.

Jer.32.30 blas

Israel and Judah have done nothing but wrong since their earliest days. They have infuriated me with all their evil deeds," says the LORD.

Jer.32.31 blas

For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

Jer.32.31 blas

"This city has made me angry from the day they built it, and now I've had my fill. I'm destroying it. I can't stand to look any longer

Jer.32.32 blas

"The sins of Israel and Judah--the sins of the people of Jerusalem, the kings, the officials, the priests, and the prophets--stir up my anger.

Jer.32.33 blas

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

Jer.32.33 blas

They've turned their backs on me--won't even look me in the face!-even though I took great pains to teach them how to live. They refused to listen, refused to be taught.

Jer.32.33 blas

And they have turned to Me the back, and not the face; though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

Jer.32.33 blas

My people have turned their backs on me and have refused to return. Day after day, year after year, I taught them right from wrong, but they would not listen or obey.

Jer.32.34 blas

But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

Jer.32.34 blas

Why, they even set up obscene god and goddess statues in the Temple built in my honor--an outrageous desecration!

Jer.32.35 blas

And they built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.'

Jer.32.35 blas

They have built pagan shrines to Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech. I have never commanded such a horrible deed; it never even crossed my mind to command such a thing. What an incredible evil, causing Judah to sin so greatly!
