Jeremiah 44
1. Jeremiah expresses the desolation of Judah for their idolatry
11. He prophesies the destruction of those who commit idolatry in Egypt
15. The obstinacy of the Jews
20. For which Jeremiah threatens them
29. and for a sign prophesies the destruction of Egypt














(15) All the men which knew that their wives had burned incense.--The fact thus mentioned incidentally shows that the prophet's words in Jeremiah 44:9 had not missed their mark. As of old--as, we may add, in the Rome of the Empire (Juvenal, Sat. vi. 526?534)--the women practised a cultus in which their husbands acquiesced, even though they did not join in it.

Verses 15-19. - The reply of the people. The special mention of the women suggests that the occasion of the gathering was a festival in honour of the Queen of Heaven. Verse 15. - Had burned incense; rather, were burning incense. The practice was still going on.
