17 but, we will certainly do, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink–offerings, just as, we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,––then were we filled with bread, and became prosperous, and, calamity, saw we none;
18 whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink–offerings, we have lacked, everything,––and, by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.
19 And, though we, are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her, drink–offerings, is it, without our men, that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her, and poured out to her, drink–offerings?
20 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people,––against the men, and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto him, saying: 21 Was it not, the very incense which 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, was it not, those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came up on his heart; 22 so that Yahweh could, no longer forbear, because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed,––and your land became, a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt, without inhabitant––as at this day? 23 Because that ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh, and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall, you––as at this day. 24 And Jeremiah said, unto all the people, and unto all the women,––Hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are in the land of Egypt,–– 25 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and, with your hands, have ye fulfilled, saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her, drink–offerings: the women, will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly perform, your vows.
