*
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 .
*
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt ,
as I have punished Jerusalem ,
by the sword ,
by the famine ra #
ab #,
and by the pestilence :
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
So that the LORD could no longer bear ,
because of the evil of your doings ma #
alal #,
and because of the abominations which ye have committed ;
therefore is your land a desolation ,
and an astonishment ,
and a curse ,
without an inhabitant ,
as at this day .
*
Because paniym #
ye have burned incense ,
and because ye have sinned against the LORD ,
and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD ,
nor walked in his law ,
nor in his statutes ,
nor in his testimonies ;
therefore this evil is happened unto you ,
as at this day .
*
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people ,
and to all the women ,
Hear the word of the LORD ,
all Judah that are in the land of Egypt :
*
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
saying ;
Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths ,
and fulfilled with your hand ,
saying ,
We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed ,
to burn incense to the queen of heaven ,
and to pour out drink offerings unto her :
ye will surely accomplish your vows ,
and surely perform your vows .
*
Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD ,
all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt ;
Behold ,
I have sworn by my great name ,
saith the LORD ,
that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt ,
saying ,
The Lord GOD liveth .
*
Behold ,
I will watch over them for evil ,
and not for good :
and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine ra #
ab #,
until there be an end of them .
