Jeremiah 44:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:

¹⁶ As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:

¹⁷ But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
