24. Now the siege ramps are in place to take the city. And the Babylonians are about to capture it by war, famine, and disease. What you have pronounced is now happening, as you can see.
25. So why tell me, Lord God, Buy the field for money and make sure there are witnesses, when the city is under Babylonian control?
26. Then the Lord’s word came to Jeremiah:
27. I am the Lord, the God of all living things! Is anything too hard for me?
28. Therefore, the Lord proclaims: I’m handing this city over to the Babylonians and King Nebuchadnezzar, who will capture it.
29. They will enter the city, set it on fire, and burn it down—including the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and drink offerings to other gods, which made me especially angry.
30. The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my eyes since their youth; the people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but anger me by the work of their hands, declares the Lord.
