Jeremiah 44:17-18
English Standard Version Anglicised
17 (A)But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to (B)the queen of heaven (C)and pour out drink offerings to her, (D)as 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 (E)the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything (F)and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.”

Jeremiah 44:17-18
King James Version
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 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.
