Jeremiah 44:7-19

7ThereforeH6258 nowH6258 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Wherefore commit ye this greatH1419 evilH7451 against your own soulsH5315, to cutH3772 off from you manH376 and womanH802, infant and suckling, out of the midstH8432 of JudahH3063, to leaveH3498 you none remainingH3498; 8in that ye provokeH3707 me unto angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027, burning incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whither ye are goneH935 to sojourn; that ye may beH1961 cutH3772 off, and that ye may beH1961 a curseH7045 and a reproachH2781 among all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776? 9Have ye forgottenH7911 the wickednessH7451 of your fathersH1, and the wickednessH7451 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and the wickednessH7451 of their wivesH802, and your own wickednessH7451, and the wickednessH7451 of your wivesH802, which they committed in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 10They are not humbled even unto this dayH3117, neither have they fearedH3372, nor walkedH1980 in my lawH8451, nor in my statutesH2708, that I setH5414 before you and before your fathersH1.

11ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Behold, I will setH7760 my faceH6440 against you for evilH7451, even to cutH3772 off all JudahH3063. 12And I will takeH3947 the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that have setH7760 their facesH6440 to goH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, and they shall all beH1961 consumed; in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall they fallH5307; they shall beH1961 consumed by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458; they shall dieH4191, from the least even unto the greatestH1419, by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458; and they shall beH1961 an execration, and an astonishment, and a curseH7045, and a reproachH2781. 13For I will punishH6485 them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as I have punishedH6485 JerusalemH3389, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698; 14so that none of the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, shall escapeH6412 or beH1961 left, to returnH7725 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, to which they have a desireH5315 to returnH7725 to dwellH3427 there: for none shall returnH7725 save such as shall escapeH6412.

15Then all the menH376 who knewH3045 that their wivesH802 burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and all the womenH802 that stoodH5975 by, a greatH1419 assemblyH6951, even all the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in PathrosH6624, answered JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 16As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of Jehovah, we will not hearken unto thee. 17But we will certainly perform every wordH1697 that is goneH3318 forthH3318 out of our mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pourH5258 out drink-offerings unto her, as we have done, we and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428 and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389; for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. 18But since we left off burning incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and pouring out drink-offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458. 19And when we burned incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and poured out drink-offerings unto her, did we makeH6213 her cakes to worship her, and pourH5258 out drink-offerings unto her, without our husbandsH376?
