Jeremiah 44:15-19

Jeremiah 44:15-19

[15] which knew  that their wives  had burned incense  unto other  gods,  and all the women  that stood by,  a great  multitude,  even all the people  that dwelt  in the land  of Egypt,  in Pathros,  answered  Jeremiah,  saying,  [16] As for the word  that thou hast spoken  unto us in the name  of the LORD,  we will not hearken  [17] But we will certainly  whatsoever thing  goeth forth  out of our own mouth,  to burn incense  unto the queen  of heaven,  and to pour out  drink offerings  unto her, as we have done,  we, and our fathers,  our kings,  and our princes,  in the cities  of Judah,  and in the streets  of Jerusalem:  for then had we plenty  of victuals,  and were well,  and saw  no evil.  [18] But since we left off  to burn incense  to the queen  of heaven,  and to pour out  drink offerings  unto her, we have wanted  all things, and have been consumed  by the sword  and by the famine.  [19] And when we burned incense  to the queen  of heaven,  and poured out  drink offerings  unto her, did we make  her cakes  to worship  her, and pour out  drink offerings  unto her, without  our men?
