Jeremiah 44:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning ^[a]sacrifices to other gods, and all the women who were standing by, a large group, including all the people who were living in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah, saying, ¹⁶ “As for the word (message) that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we are not going to listen to you. ¹⁷ But rather we will certainly perform every word of the vows we have made: to burn sacrifices to the ^[b]queen of heaven (Ishtar) and to pour out drink offerings to her, just as we ourselves and our forefathers, our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for [then] we had plenty of food and were prosperous and saw no misfortune.
