5 But they did not listen or incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.
6 So My fury and My anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they1 are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.’
7 “Now therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Why do you commit this great evil aagainst yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, child and infant, out of Judah, leaving none to remain,
8 in that you aprovoke Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to dwell, that you may cut yourselves off and be ba curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 They have not been ahumbled, to this day, nor have they bfeared; they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you and your fathers.’
