Jeremiah 44:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Now the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: Why are you committing this huge mistake that will cost you your lives? Every man, woman, child, and infant will be eliminated from the midst of Judah, and no one will be left. ⁸ Why do you anger me by what you do: by burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live? You will be eliminated and become an object of cursing and disgrace among all the nations of the earth. ⁹ Have you forgotten the sins of your ancestors and the sins of the kings of Judah and their wives?^[a] Have you forgotten the sins that you and your wives committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
