24:044:008 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the
works of your hands,
burning
incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither
ye
be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off,
and
that
ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations
of
the earth?
24:044:009 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your
fathers, and the
wickedness
of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their
wives,
and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your
wives,
which they have committed in the land of Judah, and
in
the
streets of Jerusalem?
24:044:010 They are not humbled even unto this day,
neither have they
feared,
nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set
before
you and before your fathers.
24:044:011 Therefore thus saith the lord of hosts,
the God of Israel;
Behold,
I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut
off
all Judah.
24:044:012 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that
have set their
faces
to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and
they
shall
all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they
shall
even be consumed by the sword and by the famine:
they
shall
die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the
sword
and
by the famine: and they shall be an execration,
and an
astonishment,
and a curse, and a reproach.
24:044:013 For I will punish them that dwell in the
land of Egypt, as I
have
punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and
by
the
pestilence:
24:044:014 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which
are gone into the
land
of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain,
that
they
should return into the land of Judah, to the which
they
have
a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall
return
but
such as shall escape.
24:044:015 Then all the men which knew that their
wives had burned
incense
unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a
great
multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land
of
Egypt,
in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
24:044:016 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto
us in the name of
the
lord, we will not hearken unto thee.
24:044:017 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing
goeth forth out of
our
own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven,
and
to
pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done,
we, and
our
fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities
of
Judah,
and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had
we plenty
of
victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
