“They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.”
Jeremiah 32:33 (BSB)
Context Reading
31For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence 32because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger — they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem. 33They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline. 34They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it. 35They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Ben-hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech — something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.
