30 Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only (A)evil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only (B)provoking Me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares the Lord. 31 “Indeed this city has been to Me a (C)provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be (D)removed from before My face, 32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their (E)kings, their leaders, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
