The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great
multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in
Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
JER 44:16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of
the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
JER 44:17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of
our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out
drink offerings unto 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 victuals, and were well, and saw no
evil.
