Jeremiah 44:24-26

24Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “1Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are 2in the land of Egypt,

25thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, as follows: ‘As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled it with your hands, saying, “We will 3certainly perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn 4sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.” 56Go ahead and confirm your vows, and certainly perform your vows!’

267Nevertheless hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are living in the land of Egypt, ‘Behold, I have 8sworn by My great name,’ says the Lord, ‘9never shall My name be invoked again by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “10As the Lord 11God lives.”
