33My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
34They have set up their detestable idols even in my own MTY temple and ◄defiled it/caused it become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me►.
35They have built shrines to honor Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley outside Jerusalem, and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to their god Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused all the people of Judah to be guilty of having sinned.”
36“But now I will say something more about this city. You people of Jerusalem have been saying, ‘ The army of the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people say you belong to, say:
37‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry DOU with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
