*
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 .
*
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 ra #
ab #.
*
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 ?

Then Jeremiah said unto all the people ,
to the men ,
and to the women ,
and to all the people which had given him that answer dabar #,
saying ,
*
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem ,
ye ,
and your fathers ,
your kings ,
and your princes ,
and the people of the land ,
did not the LORD remember them ,
and came it not into his mind ?
