Jeremiah 44:15-19
15Then allH3605 the menH582 who knewH3045 thatH3588 their wivesH802 were burning incenseH6999 to otherH312 godsH430, and allH3605 the womenH802 standing byH5975—a greatH1419 assemblyH6951—along with allH3605 the peopleH5971 livingH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and in PathrosH6624H559,1 saidH6030 to JeremiahH3414, 16“As for the wordH1697 you have spokenH1696 to usH413 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will notH369 listenH8085 to youH413! 17InsteadH3588, we will doH6213 everythingH3605 we vowedH1697 to doH3318H6310: We will burn incenseH6999 to the QueenH4446 of HeavenH8064 and offerH5258 drink offeringsH5262 to her, just asH834 weH587, our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our officialsH8269 didH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389.
At that time we had plentyH7646 of foodH3899H1961 and good thingsH2896, and we sawH7200 noH3808 disasterH7451. 18But from the timeH4480H227 we stoppedH2308 burning incenseH6999 to the QueenH4446 of HeavenH8064 and pouring outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 to her, we have lackedH2637 everythingH3605 and have been perishingH8552 by swordH2719 and famineH7458.”
19“Moreover,” said the women, “whenH3588 weH587 burned incenseH6999 to the QueenH4446 of HeavenH8064 and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 to her, was it withoutH1107 our husbands’ knowledgeH582 that we madeH6213 sacrificial cakesH3561 in her imageH6087 and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 to her?”
