2 Chronicles 36:16 Douay-Rheims

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

But they mocked the messengers of God the messengers of the Holy One, blessed be He.
and despised His words [The words] of the Holy One, blessed be He, for surely He is just. No one mocks even messengers of a flesh and blood [king] and they are afraid to transgress his command, whether for bad or for good, but His people despised His words and mocked and scoffed at His messengers, etc.
