The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel

Jeremiah: "You have seen all the evil that I brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. Behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them because of the wickedness which they committed" The men who knew their wives had offered incense to other gods responded by saying we will burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out libations to her as we did both we and our fathers,. Jeremiah: "We will not listen to you; but we will do everything that we have vowed."
