* "
The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem ,
you and your fathers ,
your kings and your princes ,
and the people of the land ,
did not the LORD remember them ,
and did it not come into His mind ?
*
So the LORD could no longer bear it ,
because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you committed .
Therefore your land is a desolation ,
an astonishment ,
a curse ,
and without an inhabitant ,
as it is this day .
*
Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against the LORD ,
and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD or walked in His law ,
in His statutes or in His testimonies ,
therefore this calamity has happened to you ,
as at this day ."
*
Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women , "
Hear the word of the LORD ,
all Judah who are in the land of Egypt !
*
Thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel ,
saying : "
You and your wives have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands ,
saying , "
We will surely keep our vows that we have made ,
to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her ."
You will surely keep your vows and perform your vows !'
*
Therefore hear the word of the LORD ,
all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt : "
Behold ,
I have sworn by My great name ,'
says 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 lives ."
*
Behold ,
I will watch over them for adversity and not for good .
And all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine ,
until there is an end to them .
