Jeremiah 32:25

23 They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.

24 See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!

Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”

26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
