Jeremiah 44:15-18 The Message (MSG)
The men who knew that their wives had been burning sacrifices to the no-gods, joined by a large crowd of women, along with virtually everyone living in Pathros of Egypt, answered Jeremiah: “We’re having nothing to do with what you tell us is GOD’s Message.

We’ve had nothing but massacres and starvation ever since.”
