24:044:018 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven,
           and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all
           things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

24:044:019 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured
           out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship
           her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

24:044:020 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the
           women, and to all the people which had given him that answer,
           saying,

24:044:021 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the
           streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and
           your princes, and the people of the land, did not the lord
           remember them, and came it not into his mind?

24:044:022 So that the lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of
           your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have
           committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an
           astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this
           day.

24:044:023 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned
           against the lord, and have not obeyed the voice of the lord,
           nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his
           testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at
           this day.

24:044:024 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the
           women, Hear the word of the lord, all Judah that are in the
           land of Egypt: 

24:044:025 Thus saith the lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye
           and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and
           fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our
           vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of
           heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her:  ye will
           surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

24:044:026 Therefore hear ye the word of the lord, all Judah that dwell
           in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name,
           saith the lord, that my name shall no more be named in the
           mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying,
           The Lord god liveth.

24:044:027 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good:  and
           all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be
           consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end
           of them.

24:044:028 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of
           the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant
           of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn
           there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or their’s.
