Jeremiah:44:16-19
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
As for the word which you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD ,
we will not listen to you .
*
But we will do everything that we have vowed ,
burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out libations to her ,
as we did ,
both we and our fathers ,
our kings and our princes ,
in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem ;
for then we had plenty of food ,
and prospered ,
and saw no evil .
*
But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her ,
we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine ."
*
And the women said , "
When we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out libations to her ,
was it without our husbands '
approval that we made cakes for her bearing her image and poured out libations to her ?"
