Jeremiah 44:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 “As for the word you spoke to us in the name of Yahweh, we are not going to listen to you! 17 Instead, we will do everything we said we would: burn incense to the queen of heaven[a] and offer drink offerings to her just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in Judah’s cities(A) and in Jerusalem’s streets. Then we had enough food and good things and saw no disaster, 18 but from the time we ceased to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to offer her drink offerings, we have lacked everything, and through sword and famine we have met our end.”
