17 Do you not see what they are doing in the ^pcities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

17 But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the ^wqueen of heaven and pour out ^xdrink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the ^ycities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster.

21 “As for the offerings that you offered in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your officials, and the people of the land, did not the Lord remember them? Did it not come into his mind?
