Jeremiah 44:25-27

NSB(i) 25 »Both you and your wives have made solemn promises to the Queen of Heaven. You promised that you would offer sacrifices to her and pour out wine offerings to her, and you have kept your promises. Very well, then! Keep your promises! Carry out your vows! 26 »But now listen to the vow that I, Jehovah, have made in my mighty name to all you in Judah and in Egypt: ‘Never again will I let any of you use my name to make a vow by saying: »I swear by the living God, Jehovah!’« 27 »I will see to it that you will not prosper, but will be destroyed. All of you will die! You will die in war or of disease, until not one of you is left.
