Jeremiah 44:15-17

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁵ Then ^(A)all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, along with all the women who were standing by, as a large assembly, ^[a]including all the people who were living in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered to Jeremiah, saying, ¹⁶ “As for the ^[b](B)message that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, ^(C)we are not going to listen to you! ¹⁷ But rather we will certainly ^(D)carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, ^[c]by burning incense to the ^(E)queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as ^(F)we ourselves, our fathers, our kings, and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had ^(G)plenty of ^[d]food and were well off and saw no evil.
