Jeremiah 44:7-19

7NowH6258 then thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “WhyH4100 are you 1doingH6213 greatH1419 harmH7463 to yourselvesH5315, so as to 2cutH3772 offH3772 from you manH376 and womanH802, childH5768 and infantH3243, from amongH8432 JudahH3063, leavingH3498 yourselves withoutH1115 remnantH7611, 83provokingH3707 Me to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027, 4burningH6999 5sacrificesH6999 to otherH312 godsH430 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to resideH1481, soH4616 that you might be cutH3772 offH3772 and becomeH1961 a 6curseH7045 and a reproachH2781 among allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776? 9Have you forgottenH7911 the 7wickednessH7463 of your fathersH1, the wickednessH7463 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and the wickednessH7463 of their wivesH802, your own wickednessH7463, and the wickednessH7463 of your wivesH802, whichH834 they committedH6213 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 10But they 8have not becomeH1792 9contriteH1792 even to thisH2088 dayH3117, norH3808 have they fearedH3372 norH3808 10walkedH1980 in My lawH8451 or My statutesH2708, whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you and beforeH6440 your fathersH1.”’

11“ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to 11setH7760 My faceH6440 against you for 12woeH7463, even to cutH3772 offH3772 allH3605 JudahH3063. 12And I will 13takeH3947 away the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063 whoH834 have setH7760 their 14mindH6440 on enteringH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to resideH1481 thereH8033, and they will allH3605 1516meetH8552 their endH8552 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; they will fallH5307 by the swordH2719 and meetH8552 their endH8552 by famineH7458. BothH4480 smallH6996 and greatH1419 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719 and famineH7458; and they will becomeH1961 a 17curseH7045, an objectH8047 of horrorH8047, an imprecationH7045 and a reproachH2781. 13And I will 18punishH6485 those who liveH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as I have punishedH6485 JerusalemH3389, with the swordH2719, with famineH7458 and with pestilenceH1698. 14So there will be 19noH3808 refugeesH6412 or survivorsH8300 for the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063 who have enteredH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to resideH1481 thereH8033 and then to returnH7725 to the landH776 of JudahH3063, to whichH834 they are 2021longingH5375H5315 to returnH7725 and liveH3427; for noneH3808 will 22returnH7725 exceptH3588H518 a few refugeesH6412.’”

15Then 23allH3605 the menH376 who were awareH3045 that their wivesH802 were burningH6999 24sacrificesH6999 to otherH312 godsH430, along with allH3605 the womenH802 who were standingH5975 by, as a largeH1419 assemblyH6951, 25including allH3605 the peopleH5971 who were livingH3427 in PathrosH6624 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, respondedH6030 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 16“As for the 2627messageH1697 that you have spokenH1696 to us in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, 28we are not going to listenH8085 to you! 17But ratherH3588H518 we will certainlyH6213 29carryH6213 out everyH3605 wordH1697 that has proceededH3318 from our mouthsH6310, 30by burningH6999 31sacrificesH6999 to the 32queenH4446 of heavenH8064 and pouringH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to her, justH3512 as 33we ourselvesH587, our forefathersH1, our kingsH4428 and our princesH8269 didH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389; for then we had 34plentyH7646 of 35foodH3899 and were wellH2896 offH2896 and sawH7200 noH3808 36misfortuneH7463. 18But sinceH4480H227 we stoppedH2308 burningH6999 37sacrificesH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064 and pouringH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to her, we have 38lackedH2637 everythingH3605 and have 39metH8552 our endH8552 by the swordH2719 and by famineH7458.” 19“And,” said the women, “whenH3588 we were 40burningH6999 41sacrificesH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064 and 42were pouringH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to her, was it 43withoutH4480H1107 our husbandsH376 that we madeH6213 for her sacrificial cakesH3561 44in her imageH6087 and pouredH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to her?”
