Jeremiah 44:17-21

¹⁷Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.

¹⁸But from the time we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been perishing by sword and famine.”

¹⁹“Moreover,” said the women, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

²⁰Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,

²¹“As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem — you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land— did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?
