Jeremiah 44:7-19

7Therefore nowH6258 thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Wherefore commit ye this greatH1419 evilH7451 againstH413 your ownH376 soulsH5315, to cutH3772 offH3772 from youH859 manH376 and womanH802, infantH3243 and suckling, outH4100 of the midstH8432 of JudahH3063, to leaveH3498 youH859 noneH6635 remainingH3498;

8in that ye provokeH3707 meH935 unto angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027, burningH6999 incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whither ye be goneH935 to sojourn; that ye may be cutH3772 offH3772, and that ye may be a curseH7045 and a reproachH2781 among allH3605 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, whichH834 they committedH6213 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389?

10They are notH3808 humbled evenH5704 unto this dayH3117, neitherH3808 have they fearedH3372, norH3808 walkedH1980 in my lawH8451, norH3808 in my statutesH2708, that I setH5414 beforeH6440 youH834 and beforeH6440 your fathersH1.

11Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: BeholdH2005, I will setH7760 my faceH6440 againstH6440 youH3605 for evilH7451, evenH3651 to cutH3772 offH3772 allH3605 JudahH3063.

12And I will takeH3947 the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that have setH7760 their facesH6440 to goH935 intoH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, and they shall allH3605 be consumedH8552; in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall they fallH5307; they shall be consumedH8552, by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458; they shall dieH4191, from the least evenH5704 unto the greatestH1419, by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458: and they shall be 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:

14soH1961 that noneH3808 of the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, whichH834 are goneH935 intoH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, shall escapeH6412 or remainH3427, that they should returnH7725 intoH935 the landH776 of JudahH3063, to the whichH834 they have a desireH5315 to returnH7725 to dwellH3427 there: for noneH3808 shall returnH7725 saveH5315 suchH834 as shall escapeH6412.

15Then allH3605 the menH376 whichH802 knewH3045 that their wivesH802 burnedH6999 incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and allH3605 the womenH802 that stoodH5975 by, a greatH1419 assemblyH6951, evenH3588 allH3605 the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in PathrosH6624, answeredH559 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,

16As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto usH413 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, weH834 will notH369 hearken unto thee.

17But weH587 will certainlyH3588 performH6213 everyH3605 wordH1697 that is goneH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of our mouthH6310, to burnH6999 incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pourH5258 outH3318 drinkH7646 offeringsH3588 unto herH3605, as weH587 have doneH6213, weH587 and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428 and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had weH587 plentyH7646 of victuals, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 noH3808 evilH7451.

18But sinceH4480 weH3605 leftH4480 offH4480 to burnH6999 incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pourH5258 outH4480 drink offeringsH4480 unto herH3605, weH3605 have wanted allH3605 things, and have been consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458.

19And when weH587 burnedH6999 incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and poured outH376 drink offeringsH3588 unto herH3588, didH6213 weH587 makeH6213 herH3588 cakesH3561 to worship herH3588, and pourH5258 outH376 drink offeringsH3588 unto herH3588, withoutH1107 our husbandsH376?
