4 I kept sending you my servants the prophets, who told you not to do this terrible thing that I hate. 5 But they did not listen or incline their ears to turn from their wickedness, so as not to burn sacrifices to other gods. 6 I poured out my anger and fury on the towns of Judah and on the streets of Jerusalem. I set them on fire. They were left in ruins and became a horrifying sight, as they are today.'
