Jeremiah 51:17
Source: Septuagint
17For we will surely perform every word that shall proceed out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, and our kings and princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and so we were filled with bread, and were well, and saw no evils.

15Then all the men that knew that their wives burned incense, and all the women, a great multitude, and all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee.
— Jeremiah 51:17 —
18But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, we have all been brought low, and have been consumed by sword and by famine.
19And whereas we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured drink offerings to her, did we make cakes to her, and pour drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
