Chapter 44

1The word which came to Yirmiyahu for all the Judeans living in the land of Egypt, living in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Noph, and in the land of Pathros:

2Thus said the lord of Hosts, the God of Yisrael: You have seen all the disaster that I brought on Yerushalayim and on all the towns of Yehuda. They are a ruin today, and no one inhabits them,

3on account of the wicked things they did to vex Me, going to make offerings in worship of other gods which they had not known—neither they nor you nor your fathers.

4Yet I persistently sent to you all My servants the Neviim, to say, “I beg you not to do this abominable thing which I hate.”

6so My fierce anger was poured out, and it blazed against the towns of Yehuda and the streets of Yerushalayim. And they became a desolate ruin, as they still are today.

7And now, thus said Hashem, the the lord of Hosts, the God of Yisrael: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves, so that every man and woman, child and infant of yours shall be cut off from the midst of Yehuda, and no remnant shall be left of you?

10No one has shown contrition to this day, and no one has shown reverence. You have not followed the Teaching and the laws that I set before you and before your fathers.

11Assuredly, thus said the lord of Hosts, the God of Yisrael: I am going to set My face against you for punishment, to cut off all of Yehuda.

12I will take the remnant of Yehuda who turned their faces toward the land of Egypt, to go and sojourn there, and they shall be utterly consumed in the land of Egypt. They shall fall by the sword, they shall be consumed by famine; great and small alike shall die by the sword and by famine, and they shall become an execration and a desolation, a curse and a mockery.

15Thereupon they answered Yirmiyahu—all the men who knew that their wives made offerings to other gods; all the women present, a large gathering; and all the people who lived in Pathros in the land of Egypt:

17On the contrary, we will do everything that we have vowed—to make offerings to the Queen of Heaven and to pour libations to her, as we used to do, we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the towns of Yehuda and the streets of Yerushalayim. For then we had plenty to eat, we were well-off, and suffered no misfortune.

18But ever since we stopped making offerings to the Queen of Heaven and pouring libations to her, we have lacked everything, and we have been consumed by the sword and by famine.

19And when we make offerings to the Queen of Heaven and pour libations to her, is it without our husbands' approval that we have made cakes in her likeness and poured libations to her?”

20Yirmiyahu replied to all the people, men and women—all the people who argued with him. He said,

21“Indeed, the offerings you presented in the towns of Yehuda and the streets of Yerushalayim—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—were remembered by Hashem and brought to mind!

24Yirmiyahu further said to all the people and to all the women: “Hear the word of Hashem, all Judeans in the land of Egypt!

25Thus said the lord of Hosts, the God of Yisrael: You and your wives have confirmed by deed what you spoke in words: ‘We will fulfill the vows which we made, to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour libations to her.' So fulfill your vows; perform your vows!

29“And this shall be the sign to you—declares Hashem—that I am going to deal with you in this place, so that you may know that My threats of punishment against you will be fulfilled:

v'-ZOT-la-KHEM ha-OT n'-UM a-do-NAI, ki-fo-KED a-NEE a-LAY-khem ba-ma-KOM ha-ZEH, l'-ma-AN tay-d'-U ki-KOM ya-KHU-mu d'-va-RAI a-LAY-khem l'-ra-AH.

30Thus said Hashem: I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, into the hands of his enemies, those who seek his life, just as I delivered King Tzidkiyahu of Yehuda into the hands of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, his enemy who sought his life.”
