feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set
before you and before your fathers.
24:044:011 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut
off all Judah.
24:044:012 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their
faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they
shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they
shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they
shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword

our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of

24:044:018 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all
things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
24:044:019 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured
