Jeremiah 32:35

Read in context

Jeremiah 32:33–37 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

34 They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.

35 They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.

36 Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:

37 I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.
