Jeremiah 44:15-26
15Then all the menH582 which knewH3045 that their wivesH802 had burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and all the womenH802 that stood byH5975, a greatH1419 multitudeH6951, even all the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in PathrosH6624, answeredH6030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 16As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee. 17But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451.12 18But since we left offH2308 to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, we have wantedH2637 all things, and have been consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458. 19And when we burned incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, did we makeH6213 her cakesH3561 to worshipH6087 her, and pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, withoutH1107 our menH582?3
20Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, to the menH1397, and to the womenH802, and to all the peopleH5971 which had given him that answerH6030H1697, sayingH559, 21The incenseH7002 that ye burnedH6999 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 YhwhH3068 rememberH2142 them, and cameH5927 it not into his mindH3820? 22So that YhwhH3068 couldH3201 no longer bearH5375, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and becauseH6440 of the abominationsH8441 which ye have committedH6213; therefore is your landH776 a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047, and a curseH7045, without an inhabitantH3427, as at this dayH3117. 23BecauseH834H6440 ye have burned incenseH6999, and because ye have sinnedH2398 against YhwhH3068, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068, nor walkedH1980 in his lawH8451, nor in his statutesH2708, nor in his testimoniesH5715; therefore this evilH7451 is happenedH7122 unto you, as at this dayH3117. 24Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, and to all the womenH802, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, all JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 25Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559; Ye and your wivesH802 have both spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310, and fulfilledH4390 with your handH3027, sayingH559, We will surelyH6213 performH6213 our vowsH5088 that we have vowedH5087, to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her: ye will surelyH6965 accomplishH6965 your vowsH5088, and surelyH6213 performH6213 your vowsH5088. 26Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, all JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; Behold, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saithH559 YhwhH3068, that my nameH8034 shall no more be namedH7121 in the mouthH6310 of any manH376 of JudahH3063 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, The LordH136 YhwhH3069 livethH2416.
