Jeremiah:44:8-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands ,
burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt ,
whither ye be gone to dwell ,
that ye might cut yourselves off ,
and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth ?
*
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers ,
and the wickedness of the kings of Judah ,
and the wickedness of their wives ,
and your own wickedness ,
and the wickedness of your wives ,
which they have committed in the land of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem ?
*
They are not humbled even unto this day ,
neither have they feared ,
nor walked in my law ,
nor in my statutes ,
that I set before you and before your fathers .
*
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Behold ,
I will set my face against you for evil ,
and to cut off all Judah .
*
And I will take the remnant of Judah ,
that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there ,
and they shall all be consumed ,
and fall in the land of Egypt ;
they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine ra #
ab #:
they shall die ,
from the least even unto the greatest ,
by the sword and by the famine ra #
ab #:
and they shall be an execration ,
and an astonishment ,
and a curse ,
and a reproach .
