Jeremiah 44:21

A Message Of Rebuke For The Rebellious Remnant

²⁰ But Jeremiah responded to all the people—the men, women, and all the people who were answering him: ²¹ “As for the incense you burned in Judah’s cities and in Jerusalem’s streets—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the Lord not remember them? He brought this to mind. ²² The Lord can no longer bear your evil deeds and the detestable acts you have committed, so your land has become a waste, a desolation, and an object of cursing, without inhabitant, as you see today.
