Bible. Jeremiah
24:043:011 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and
deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for
captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the
sword.
24:043:012 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt;
and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he
shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd
putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in
peace.
24:043:013 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the
land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians
shall he burn with fire.
24:044:001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which
dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at
Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
24:044:002 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen
all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all
the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a
desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
24:044:003 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to
provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to
serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor
your fathers.
24:044:004 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising
early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable
thing that I hate.
24:044:005 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from
their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
24:044:006 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was
kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of
Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
24:044:007 Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God
of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your
souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling,
out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
24:044:008 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands,
burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither
ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and
that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations
of the earth?
24:044:009 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the
wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their
wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your
wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in
the streets of Jerusalem?
