12 That is why this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘Here I am bringing a calamity upon Jerusalem+ and Judah, of which if anyone hears both his ears will tingle.+

17 due to the fact that they have left me and have gone making sacrificial smoke to other gods+ in order to offend me with all the work of their hands,+ and my rage has been set afire against this place and will not be extinguished.’”’+

16 But they were continually making jest+ at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words+ and mocking+ at his prophets, until the rage+ of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing.+
