Jeremias 44:23 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 44:23

And because ye have burnt incense
Not to Jehovah, but to the queen of heaven; which they owned they did, and determined they would; asserting it was better with them when they did it than when they omitted it; for which reason the prophet particularly mentions it, and assigns it as the cause of the present ruin and destruction of their land, city, and temple: and because ye have sinned against the Lord;
by worshipping idols; all sin is against the Lord, but especially idolatry: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord;
by his prophets, who cautioned them against idolatry, reproved them for it, and told them what would be the consequence of it; but this they hearkened not unto, which was an aggravation of their sin: nor walked in his law;
the moral law, according to it; which is a rule of walk and conversation: nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies;
as not in the moral law, so neither in the ceremonial law, and the rites of that; nor in the judicial law, and the testifications of the will of God in either of them: therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day:
that is, the desolation on their land, as in ( Jeremiah 44:23 ) ; (See Gill on Jeremiah 44:23).

Jeremias 44:23 In-Context

21 Porventura não se lembrou o Senhor, e não lhe veio � mente o incenso que queimastes nas cidades de Judá e nas ruas de Jerusalém, vós e vossos pais, vossos reis e vossos príncipes, como tambem o povo da terra?
22 O Senhor não podia por mais tempo suportar a maldade das vossas ações, as abominações que cometestes; pelo que se tornou a vossa terra em desolação, e em espanto, e em maldição, sem habitantes, como hoje se vê.
23 Porquanto queimastes incenso, e pecastes contra o Senhor, não obedecendo � voz do Senhor, nem andando na sua lei, nos seus estatutos e nos seus testemunhos; por isso vos sobreveio este mal, como se vê neste dia.
24 Disse mais Jeremias a todo o povo e a todas as mulheres: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, vós, todo o Judá, que estais na terra do Egito.
25 Assim fala o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, dizendo: Vós e vossas mulheres falastes por vossa boca, e com as vossas mãos o cumpristes, dizendo: Certamente cumpriremos os nossos votos que fizemos, de queimarmos incenso � rainha do céu e de lhe derramarmos libações; confirmai, pois, os vossos votos, e cumpri-os!
