23 Since you have burned [a]sacrifices and have sinned against the Lord and (A)not obeyed the voice of the Lord nor (B)walked in His Law, His statutes, or His testimonies, therefore this (C)disaster has happened to you, as it has this day.”

24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “(D)Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who are (E)in the land of Egypt! 25 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel [b]says: ‘As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled it with your hands, saying, “We will (F)certainly perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn [c]sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.” (G)By all means fulfill your vows, and be sure to perform your vows!’
