26. The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
27. “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
28. Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
29. The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30. For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but provoke me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the Lord.
31. This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, so that I will remove it from my sight
