Jeremiah 44:17 in Context — Jeremiah 44
15 Então todos os homens que sabiam que suas mulheres haviam oferecido incenso a outros deuses, e todas as mulheres que estavam presentes, uma grande multidão, e todo o povo que habitava na terra do Egito, em Patros, responderam a Jeremias, dizendo:
16 Quanto a palavra que tu nos falaste em nome do SENHOR, não daremos ouvidos a ti;
17 Em vez disso certamente faremos toda a palavra que saiu de nossa boca, para oferecer incenso à rainha dos céus, e para lhe apresentar ofertas de bebidas, tal como temos feito, nós e nossos pais, nossos reis e nossos príncipes, nas cidades de Judá, e nas ruas de Jerusalém, quando nos fartávamos de pão, vivíamos bem, e não víamos calamidade alguma.
18 Mas desde que cessamos de oferecer incenso à rainha do céus, e de derramar ofertas de bebidas, tivemos falta de tudo, e fomos consumidos pela espada e pela fome.
19 E quando oferecemos incenso à rainha do céus, e lhe derramamos ofertas de bebidas, por acaso nós lhe fizemos bolos para lhe prestar culto, e lhe derramamos ofertas de bebidas, sem nossos maridos?
