Popular Bible Verses from Jeremiah 44

Deildu

“As for the word you spoke to us in the name of the LORD, we are not going to listen to you! Instead, we will do everything we promised:  we will burn incense to the queen of heaven  and offer drink offerings to her just as we, our ancestors, our kings, and our officials did in Judah’s cities  and in Jerusalem’s streets. Then we had enough food, we were well off, and we saw no disaster

but from the time we ceased to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to offer her drink offerings, we have lacked everything, and through sword and famine we have met our end.”

Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD and didn’t obey the LORD   and didn’t follow his instruction, his statutes, and his testimonies, this disaster has come to you, as you see today.”
