Jeremiah 44:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:

²¹ Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?

²² So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
