Jeremiah 44

Jeremiah 44:7

Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

Those of Teman, in the land of Idumea, had wont to be accounted wise men: what, is there no wisdom now left amongst them? hath their wit utterly failed them, that they cast not how to be freed from the danger of the Chaldeans!

Jeremiah 44:14

For none shall return but such as shall escape.

None shall return into the land of Judah, but such as shall speedily withdraw themselves out of Egypt, and make an escape from this wicked Johanan, who hath brought us hither.

Jeremiah 44:17

To burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings, &c.

To burn incense to the sun or moon, and to offer sacrifices unto them.

Jeremiah 44:19

Did we pour out these drink offerings unto her, without our husbands?

Did not our husbands both aid and animate us, in those sacrifices which we thus offered?

Jeremiah 44:26

I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt.

I will not endure, that so much as an outward profession shall be made of my name and worship, by any man of Judah, in the land of Egypt.
