the

because our ancestors
have not obeyed the word of the
Lord by doing all that this scroll instructs!”

44:17 Instead we will do everything we vowed we would do.
We will sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the goddess called the Queen of Heaven
just as we and our ancestors, our kings, and our leaders previously did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and had no troubles.

LORD our God by living according to
his laws
that he set before us through his servants the prophets.
James 1:22-25
1:22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.
1:23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone
who gazes at his own face
in a mirror.
1:24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets
what sort of person he was.
1:25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there,
and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he
will be blessed in what he does.
