Jeremiah 32:30-32

Jeremiah 32:30-32

[30] For the children  of Israel  and the children  of Judah  have only done  evil  before  me from their youth:  for the children  of Israel  have only provoked me to anger  with the work  of their hands,  saith  the LORD.  [31] For this city  hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger  and of my fury  from the day  that they built  it even unto this day;  that I should remove  it from before my face,  [32] Because of all the evil  of the children  of Israel  and of the children  of Judah,  which they have done  to provoke me to anger,  they, their kings,  their princes,  their priests,  and their prophets,  and the men  of Judah,  and the inhabitants  of Jerusalem.
