Jeremiah 32:31

Read in context

Jeremiah 32:29–33 · Berean Standard Bible

29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.

30 For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.

31 For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence

32 because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.

33 They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
