Jeremiah 44:16-18

[As for] the word
<01697>

that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto us in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

we will not hearken
<08085> (8802)

unto thee.

But we will certainly
<06213> (8800)

do
<06213> (8799)

whatsoever thing
<01697>

goeth forth
<03318> (8804)

out of our own mouth
<06310>_,

to burn incense
<06999> (8763)

unto the queen
<04446>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and to pour out
<05258> (8687)

drink offerings
<05262>

unto her, as we have done
<06213> (8804)_,

we, and our fathers
<01>_,

our kings
<04428>_,

and our princes
<08269>_,

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for [then] had we plenty
<07646> (8799)

of victuals
<03899>_,

and were well
<02896>_,

and saw
<07200> (8804)

no evil
<07451>_.

{queen...: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}

But since we left off
<02308> (8804)

to burn incense
<06999> (8763)

to the queen
<04446>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and to pour out
<05258> (8687)

drink offerings
<05262>

unto her, we have wanted
<02637> (8804)

all [things], and have been consumed
<08552> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>

and by the famine
<07458>_.
