Jeremiah 44:17
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.
Deuteronomy 29:19-20
29:19 When such a person
hears the words of this oath he secretly
blesses himself
and says, “I will have peace though I continue to walk with a stubborn spirit.”
This will destroy
the watered ground with the parched.
29:20 The
Lord will be unwilling to forgive him, and his intense anger
will rage
against that man; all the curses
written in this scroll will fall upon him
and the
Lord will obliterate his name from memory.

my sayings will drip like the dew,
as rain drops upon the grass,
and showers upon new growth.

will afflict you with weakness,

2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know
that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!
