Jeremiah 44:17
17Instead we will do everything we vowed we would do. ▼▼ Heb “that went out of our mouth.” I.e., everything we said, promised, or vowed.
We will sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the goddess called the Queen of Heaven ▼ ▼ just as we and our ancestors, our kings, and our leaders previously did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and had no troubles. ▼▼ Heb “saw [or experienced] no disaster/trouble/harm.”
