Jeremiah 44:17-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 But rather we will certainly (A)carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, [a]by burning [b]sacrifices to the (B)queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as (C)we ourselves, our forefathers, our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had (D)plenty of [c]food and were well off and saw no [d]misfortune. 18 But since we stopped burning [e]sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have (E)lacked everything and have [f]met our end by the sword and by famine.”

12 “I will (A)destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘These are my wages
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (B)make them a forest,
And the (C)beasts of the field will devour them.
