Jeremiah 44:20-30

20Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, to the men, and to the womenH802, even to all the peopleH5971 that had given him that answerH6030, sayingH559, 21The incenseH6999 that ye burned in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, ye and your fathersH1, your kingsH4428 and your princesH8269, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, did not Jehovah rememberH2142 them, and cameH5927 it not into his mind? 22so that Jehovah could not longer bearH5375, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominationsH8441 which ye have committed; therefore is your landH776 becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, and an astonishment, and a curseH7045, without inhabitantH3427, as it is this dayH3117. 23Because ye have burned incenseH6999, and because ye have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voiceH6963 of Jehovah, nor walkedH1980 in his lawH8451, nor in his statutesH2708, nor in his testimoniesH5715; thereforeH3651 this evilH7451 is happenedH7122 unto you, as it is this dayH3117.

24Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, and to all the womenH802, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, all JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 25ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Ye and your wivesH802 have both spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310, and with your handsH3027 have fulfilled it, sayingH559, We will surely perform our vowsH5088 that we have vowedH5087, to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pourH5258 out drink-offerings unto her: establishH6965 then your vowsH5088, and perform your vowsH5088. 26ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of Jehovah, all JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: Behold, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saith Jehovah, that my nameH8034 shall no more beH1961 namedH8034 in the mouthH6310 of any manH376 of JudahH3063 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, As the Lord Jehovah liveth. 27Behold, I watchH8245 over them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be consumed by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458, until there be an endH3615 of them. 28And they that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall returnH7725 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, few in numberH4557; and all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, shall knowH3045 whose wordH1697 shall standH6965, mine, or theirs. 29And this shall be the signH226 unto you, saith Jehovah, that I will punishH6485 you in this placeH4725, that ye may knowH3045 that my wordsH1697 shall surely standH6965 against you for evilH7451: 30ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will giveH5414 Pharaoh Hophra kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 into the handH3027 of his enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 his lifeH5315; as I gaveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894, who was his enemyH341, and soughtH1245 his lifeH5315.
