¹⁹ The women also said, ^(A)“And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes for her, to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her without our husbands’ permission?”

^18 (A)The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they ^(B)pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.

¹⁵ Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, with all the women who stood by, a great multitude, and all the people who dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying:

⁶ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of ^(A)Ahab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

²⁵ But ^(A)there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the Lord, ^(B)because Jezebel his wife ^[a]stirred him up.

^3 (A)Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son. ⁴ For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; ^(B)so the anger of the Lord will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly.

⁶ “If indeed she takes a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, ⁷ and her husband hears it, and makes no response to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself shall stand.

¹⁶ To the woman He said:

¹⁷ Then to Adam He said, ^(D)“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree ^(E)of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

¹¹ And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

¹² Then the man said, ^(A)“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

⁶ So when the woman ^(A)saw that the tree was good for food, that it was ^[a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit ^(B)and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
