Jeremiah 44:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

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

¹⁶ “The Word that you have spoken to us in the Name of the LORD, we will not hear it from you.

¹⁷ “But we will do whatever thing goes out of our own mouth—to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, both we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—for then we had plenty of rations and were well and felt no misery.
