Jeremiah 44:2-5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)

all the evil
<07451>

that I have brought
<0935> (8689)

upon Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and upon all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_;

and, behold, this day
<03117>

they [are] a desolation
<02723>_,

and no man dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

therein,

Because
<06440>

of their wickedness
<07451>

which they have committed
<06213> (8804)

to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_,

in that they went
<03212> (8800)

to burn incense
<06999> (8763)_,

[and] to serve
<05647> (8800)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

whom they knew
<03045> (8804)

not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers
<01>_.

Howbeit I sent
<07971> (8799)

unto you all my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

rising early
<07925> (8687)

and sending
<07971> (8800)

[them], saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Oh, do
<06213> (8799)

not this abominable
<08441>

thing
<01697>

that I hate
<08130> (8804)_.

But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>

to turn
<07725> (8800)

from their wickedness
<07451>_,

to burn no incense
<06999> (8763)

unto other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.
