Letter of Jeremiah 41-43

Common English Bible

⁴¹ Even after observing this, the Chaldeans themselves are unable to abandon the idols because they have no sense. ⁴² The women, with cords wrapped around them, sit along the streets and burn corn husks as incense. ⁴³ When one of these women is dragged away by someone to have sex, she makes fun of the one nearest her by saying that the other woman wasn’t as worthy as she, nor has the woman’s cord been broken.
