1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying, Jeremiah 44:1WEB
2 “YHWH of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them, Jeremiah 44:2WEB
3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers. Jeremiah 44:3WEB
4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.” Jeremiah 44:4WEB
5 But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods. Jeremiah 44:5WEB
6 Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’ Jeremiah 44:6WEB
7 “Therefore now YHWH, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining, Jeremiah 44:7WEB
8 in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? Jeremiah 44:8WEB
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? Jeremiah 44:9WEB
10 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’ Jeremiah 44:10WEB
11 “Therefore YHWH of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah. Jeremiah 44:11WEB
12 I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach. Jeremiah 44:12WEB
13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; Jeremiah 44:13WEB
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’” Jeremiah 44:14WEB
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, Jeremiah 44:15WEB
16 “As for the word that you have spoken to us in YHWH’s name, we will not listen to you. Jeremiah 44:16WEB
17 But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil. Jeremiah 44:17WEB
18 But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.” Jeremiah 44:18WEB
19 The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?” Jeremiah 44:19WEB
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying, Jeremiah 44:20WEB
21 “The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t YHWH remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind? Jeremiah 44:21WEB
22 Thus YHWH could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today. Jeremiah 44:22WEB
23 Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not obeyed YHWH’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.” Jeremiah 44:23WEB
24 Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear YHWH’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt! Jeremiah 44:24WEB
25 YHWH of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’ Jeremiah 44:25WEB
26 “Therefore hear YHWH’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says YHWH, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord YHWH lives.” Jeremiah 44:26WEB
27 Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone. Jeremiah 44:27WEB
28 Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs. Jeremiah 44:28WEB
29 “‘This will be the sign to you,’ says YHWH, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’ Jeremiah 44:29WEB
30 YHWH says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’” Jeremiah 44:30WEB
