He will say,“ Where are their gods, the‘ rock’ they found refuge in?

But where are your gods you made for yourself? Let them rise up and save you in your time of disaster if they can, for your gods are as numerous as your cities, Judah.

At the time of his distress, King Ahaz himself became more unfaithful to the LORD.

“ Come, gather together, and approach, you fugitives of the nations. Those who carry their wooden idols and pray to a god who cannot save have no knowledge.

Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them deliver you whenever you are oppressed.”

Instead, we will do everything we promised: we will burn incense to the queen of heaven and offer drink offerings to her just as we, our ancestors, our kings, and our officials did in Judah’s cities and in Jerusalem’s streets. Then we had enough food, we were well off, and we saw no disaster,but from the time we ceased to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to offer her drink offerings, we have lacked everything, and through sword and famine we have met our end.”And the women said,“ When we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it apart from our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”But Jeremiah responded to all the people— the men, women, and all the people who were answering him:“ As for the incense you burned in Judah’s cities and in Jerusalem’s streets— you, your ancestors, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land— did the LORD not remember them? He brought this to mind.The LORD can no longer bear your evil deeds and the detestable acts you have committed, so your land has become a waste, a desolation, and an example for cursing, without inhabitant, as you see today.Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD and didn’t obey the LORD and didn’t follow his instruction, his statutes, and his testimonies, this disaster has come to you, as you see today.”Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women,“ Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ As for you and your wives, you women have spoken with your mouths, and you men fulfilled it by your deeds, saying,“ We will keep our vows that we have made to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings for her.” Go ahead, confirm your vows! Keep your vows!’“ Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, all you Judeans who live in the land of Egypt:‘ I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name will never again be invoked by anyone of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying,“ As the Lord GOD lives.”I am watching over them for disaster and not for good, and everyone from Judah who is in the land of Egypt will meet his end by sword or famine until they are finished off.
