Jeremiah 44:25-27
New International Version
25 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives(A) have done what you said you would do when you promised, ‘We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.’(B)
“Go ahead then, do what you promised! Keep your vows!(C) 26 But hear the word of the Lord, all you Jews living in Egypt:(D) ‘I swear(E) by my great name,’ says the Lord, ‘that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, “As surely as the Sovereign(F) Lord lives.”(G) 27 For I am watching(H) over them for harm,(I) not for good; the Jews in Egypt will perish(J) by sword and famine(K) until they are all destroyed.(L)
