THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET
JEREMIAH
CHAPTER 44
  17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our aown mouth, to burn incense unto bthe 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 cvictuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
