Psalms 80:11-13
80:11 Its branches reached the Mediterranean Sea,
and its shoots the Euphrates River.
80:12 Why did you break down its walls,
so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?
80:13 The wild boars of the forest ruin it;
the insects of the field feed on it.
Jeremiah 44:16-17
44:16 “We will not listen to what you claim the
Lord has spoken to us!
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.
