Jeremiah 44:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ The women added, “We burned incense to the Queen of Heaven. We poured out drink offerings to her. And our husbands knew we were making cakes that looked like her. They knew we were pouring out drink offerings to her.”

²⁰ Then Jeremiah spoke to all the people who were answering him. He spoke to men and women alike. He said, ²¹ “Didn’t the Lord know you were burning incense in the towns of Judah? Didn’t he care that you were also doing it in the streets of Jerusalem? You and your people of long ago were doing it. Your kings and officials were doing it too. So were the rest of the people in the land.
