Jeremiah 44:1-3

Expanded Bible

Disaster in Egypt

44 Jeremiah received a message from the Lord for all the ·Jews [^LJudeans] living in Egypt—in the cities of Migdol [^Ca city in the Nile Delta], Tahpanhes [43:7], Memphis [^Ca capital city in central Egypt], and in ·southern Egypt [^Lthe land of Pathros]. This was the message: ² “The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: You saw all the ·terrible things [disasters; evil; troubles] I brought on Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, which are ruins today with no one living in them. ³ It is because the people who lived there did evil. They made me angry by burning incense and ·worshiping [serving] other gods that neither they nor you nor your ·ancestors [fathers] ever knew.
