Lexham English Bible
24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, “Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt. 25 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying,[a] ‘You and your wives have promised with your mouths[b] and with your hands[c] you have fulfilled, saying,[d] “We certainly will carry out our vows that we vowed, to make smoke offerings to the queen of the heavens,[e] and to pour out to her libations.” You must certainly keep your vows and you must certainly carry out your vows.’ 26 Therefore[f] hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah, those who live in the land of Egypt: ‘Look, I hereby swear by my great name,’ says Yahweh, ‘surely my name will no longer be called in the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, “as the Lord Yahweh lives,”[g] in all the land of Egypt.
