Jeremiah:44:14-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So that none of the remnant of Judah ,
which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there ,
shall escape or remain ,
that they should return into the land of Judah ,
to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there :
for none shall return but such as shall escape .
*
Then all the men 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 ,
*
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD ,
we will not hearken unto thee .
*
But we will certainly do 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 .
