Jeremiah 44:1

Israelites Will Be Punished in Egypt

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at ^aMigdol, at ^bTahpanhes, at ^cNoph, and in the country of ^dPathros, saying,

2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘You have seen all the calamity that I have brought on Jerusalem and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are ^aa desolation, and no one dwells in them,

3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me to anger, in that they went ^ato burn incense and to ^bserve other gods whom they did not know, they nor you nor your fathers.

4 However ^aI have sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, “Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!”
