Jeremiah 32:31Easy To Read Version“From the time that Jerusalem was built until now, the people of this city have made me angry. This city has made me so angry, I must remove it from my sight. See the chapter |
Josiah also broke down the altar and high place [296] at Bethel. Jeroboam son of Nebat had made this altar. Jeroboam caused Israel to sin. [297] Josiah broke down both that altar and the high place. Josiah broke the stones of the altar to pieces. Then he beat it into dust. And he burned the Asherah pole.
The Lord said, “I forced the people of Israel to leave their land. I will do the same to Judah. I will take Judah out of my sight. I will not accept Jerusalem. Yes, I chose that city. I was talking about Jerusalem when I said, ‘My name will be there.’ But I will destroy the temple [309] that is in that place.”
