Jeremiah 44:22-24

Common English Bible

²² It got so bad that the Lord could no longer bear your evil and shameless acts; it was at that point that your land was reduced to an utter wasteland and a curse, as it is today. ²³ The current dire situation occurred because you made offerings to other gods^[a] and sinned against the Lord—because you wouldn’t obey the Lord or follow the Lord’s instruction, laws, or warnings.”

²⁴ Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including the women: Listen to the Lord’s word, all you Judeans in the land of Egypt.
