18 The sons are gathering wood, the fathers are lighting the fire, and the wives are kneading dough in order to make sacrificial cakes to the Queen of Heaven,*+ and they are pouring out drink offerings to other gods to offend me.+

13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will become unclean like this place, Toʹpheth,+ yes, all the houses on whose roofs they offered sacrifices to all the army of the heavens+ and where they poured out drink offerings to other gods.’”+

25 This is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘What you and your wives have spoken with your mouths, you have fulfilled with your hands, for you said: “We will surely carry out our vows to make sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven* and to pour out drink offerings to her.”+ You women will surely carry out your vows and perform your vows.’
