Jeremiah 19:5
19:5 They have built places here
for worship of the god Baal so that they could sacrifice their children as burnt offerings to him in the fire. Such sacrifices
are something I never commanded them to make! They are something I never told them to do! Indeed, such a thing never even entered my mind!
Jeremiah 32:35
32:35 They built places of worship for the god Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that they could sacrifice their sons and daughters to the god Molech.
Such a disgusting practice was not something I commanded them to do! It never even entered my mind to command them to do such a thing! So Judah is certainly liable for punishment.’
Jeremiah 32:2
32:2 Now at that time, the armies of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem. The prophet Jeremiah was confined in the courtyard of the guardhouse attached to the royal palace of Judah.
Jeremiah 21:4-5
21:4 that the
Lord, the God of Israel, says,
‘The forces at your disposal
are now outside the walls fighting against King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the Babylonians
who have you under siege. I will gather those forces back inside the city.
21:5 In anger, in fury, and in wrath I myself will fight against you with my mighty power and great strength!
