Then Jeremiah said to all the people; to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who were answering,

The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your rulers, and the people of the land, did not Jehovah remember them? Yea, it came into His heart.

And Jehovah could no longer bear because of the evil of your doings, because of the detestable things you have committed. For this reason your land is a waste, and a horror, and a curse, without one living in it , as at this day.

Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, in His Law, or in His statutes; and because you did not walk in His testimonies, therefore this evil has happenedto you, as at this day.
