*
Moreover all the chief of the priests ,
and the people ,
transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen ;
and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem .
*
And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers ,
rising up betimes ,
and sending ;
because he had compassion on his people ,
and on his dwelling place :
*
But they mocked the messengers of God ,
and despised his words ,
and misused his prophets ,
until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people ,
till there was no remedy .
*
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees ,
who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary ,
and had no compassion upon young man or maiden ,
old man ,
or him that stooped for age :
he gave them all into his hand .
