17 But we will do whatsoever thing goeth out of our own mouth, as to burn incense unto [a]the Queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, both we and our fathers, our kings and our princes in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then [b]had we [c]plenty of vittles and were well and [d]felt none evil.
