Isaiah 42:8-9

8 I am the Lord; that is my name;
^amy glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to carved idols.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
^band new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
I tell you of them.”

Jeremiah 44:17-18

17 ^cBut we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to ^dthe queen of heaven ^eand pour out drink offerings to her, ^fas we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster. 18 But since we left off making offerings to ^gthe queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything ^hand have been consumed by the sword and by famine.”
