44:1 The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
all
the
Judeans
who
lived
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
at
Migdol,
at
Tahpanhes,
at
Memphis,
and
in
the
land
of
Pathros,
44:2 "Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
You
have
seen
all
the
disaster
that
I
brought
upon
Jerusalem
and
upon
all
the
cities
of
Judah.
Behold,
this
day
they
are
a
desolation,
and
no
one
dwells
in
them,
44:3 because
of
the
evil
that
they
committed,
provoking
me
to
anger,
in
that
they
went
to
make
offerings
and
serve
other
gods
that
they
knew
not,
neither
they,
nor
you,
nor
your
fathers.
44:4 Yet
I
persistently
sent
to
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
saying,
'Oh,
do
not
do
this
abomination
that
I
hate!'
44:5 But
they
did
not
listen
or
incline
their
ear,
to
turn
from
their
evil
and
make
no
offerings
to
other
gods.
44:6 Therefore
my
wrath
and
my
anger
were
poured
out
and
kindled
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
and
they
became
a
waste
and
a
desolation,
as
at
this
day.
44:7 And
now
thus
says
the
LORD
God
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Why
do
you
commit
this
great
evil
against
yourselves,
to
cut
off
from
you
man
and
woman,
infant
and
child,
from
the
midst
of
Judah,
leaving
you
no
remnant
44:8 Why
do
you
provoke
me
to
anger
with
the
works
of
your
hands,
making
offerings
to
other
gods
in
the
land
of
Egypt
where
you
have
come
to
live,
so
that
you
may
be
cut
off
and
become
a
curse
and
a
taunt
among
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
44:9 Have
you
forgotten
the
evil
of
your
fathers,
the
evil
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
the
evil
of
their
wives,
your
own
evil,
and
the
evil
of
your
wives,
which
they
committed
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem
44:10 They
have
not
humbled
themselves
even
to
this
day,
nor
have
they
feared,
nor
walked
in
my
law
and
my
statutes
that
I
set
before
you
and
before
your
fathers.
44:11 "Therefore
thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
set
my
face
against
you
for
harm,
to
cut
off
all
Judah.
44:12 I
will
take
the
remnant
of
Judah
who
have
set
their
faces
to
come
to
the
land
of
Egypt
to
live,
and
they
shall
all
be
consumed.
In
the
land
of
Egypt
they
shall
fall;
by
the
sword
and
by
famine
they
shall
be
consumed.
From
the
least
to
the
greatest,
they
shall
die
by
the
sword
and
by
famine,
and
they
shall
become
an
oath,
a
horror,
a
curse,
and
a
taunt.
44:13 I
will
punish
those
who
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
as
I
have
punished
Jerusalem,
with
the
sword,
with
famine,
and
with
pestilence,
44:14 so
that
none
of
the
remnant
of
Judah
who
have
come
to
live
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
escape
or
survive
or
return
to
the
land
of
Judah,
to
which
they
desire
to
return
to
dwell
there.
For
they
shall
not
return,
except
some
fugitives."
44:15 Then
all
the
men
who
knew
that
their
wives
had
made
offerings
to
other
gods,
and
all
the
women
who
stood
by,
a
great
assembly,
all
the
people
who
lived
in
Pathros
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
answered
Jeremiah:
44:16 "As
for
the
word
that
you
have
spoken
to
us
in
the
name
of
the
LORD,
we
will
not
listen
to
you.
44:17 But
we
will
do
everything
that
we
have
vowed,
make
offerings
to
the
queen
of
heaven
and
pour
out
drink
offerings
to
her,
as
we
did,
both
we
and
our
fathers,
our
kings
and
our
officials,
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem.
For
then
we
had
plenty
of
food,
and
prospered,
and
saw
no
disaster.
44:18 But
since
we
left
off
making
offerings
to
the
queen
of
heaven
and
pouring
out
drink
offerings
to
her,
we
have
lacked
everything
and
have
been
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
famine."
44:19 And
the
women
said,
"When
we
made
offerings
to
the
queen
of
heaven
and
poured
out
drink
offerings
to
her,
was
it
without
our
husbands'
approval
that
we
made
cakes
for
her
bearing
her
image
and
poured
out
drink
offerings
to
her"
44:20 Then
Jeremiah
said
to
all
the
people,
men
and
women,
all
the
people
who
had
given
him
this
answer:
44:21 "As
for
the
offerings
that
you
offered
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
you
and
your
fathers,
your
kings
and
your
officials,
and
the
people
of
the
land,
did
not
the
LORD
remember
them
Did
it
not
come
into
his
mind
44:22 The
LORD
could
no
longer
bear
your
evil
deeds
and
the
abominations
that
you
committed.
Therefore
your
land
has
become
a
desolation
and
a
waste
and
a
curse,
without
inhabitant,
as
it
is
this
day.
44:23 It
is
because
you
made
offerings
and
because
you
sinned
against
the
LORD
and
did
not
obey
the
voice
of
the
LORD
or
walk
in
his
law
and
in
his
statutes
and
in
his
testimonies
that
this
disaster
has
happened
to
you,
as
at
this
day."
44:24 Jeremiah
said
to
all
the
people
and
all
the
women,
"Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
all
you
of
Judah
who
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
44:25 Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
You
and
your
wives
have
declared
with
your
mouths,
and
have
fulfilled
it
with
your
hands,
saying,
'We
will
surely
perform
our
vows
that
we
have
made,
to
make
offerings
to
the
queen
of
heaven
and
to
pour
out
drink
offerings
to
her.'
Then
confirm
your
vows
and
perform
your
vows!
44:26 Therefore
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
all
you
of
Judah
who
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
Behold,
I
have
sworn
by
my
great
name,
says
the
LORD,
that
my
name
shall
no
more
be
invoked
by
the
mouth
of
any
man
of
Judah
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying,
'As
the
Lord
GOD
lives.'
44:27 Behold,
I
am
watching
over
them
for
disaster
and
not
for
good.
All
the
men
of
Judah
who
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
be
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
famine,
until
there
is
an
end
of
them.
44:28 And
those
who
escape
the
sword
shall
return
from
the
land
of
Egypt
to
the
land
of
Judah,
few
in
number;
and
all
the
remnant
of
Judah,
who
came
to
the
land
of
Egypt
to
live,
shall
know
whose
word
will
stand,
mine
or
theirs.
44:29 This
shall
be
the
sign
to
you,
declares
the
LORD,
that
I
will
punish
you
in
this
place,
in
order
that
you
may
know
that
my
words
will
surely
stand
against
you
for
harm:
44:30 Thus
says
the
LORD,
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,
as
I
gave
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
who
was
his
enemy
and
sought
his
life."
