Jeremiah 44:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ because of the evil they committed to anger me,^(A) by going and burning incense to serve other gods that they, you, and your ancestors did not know.^{(B) 4} So I sent you all my servants the prophets time and time again,^[a](C) saying, ‘Don’t commit this detestable action that I hate.’ ⁵ But they did not listen or pay attention; they did not turn from their evil or stop burning incense to other gods.
