Jeremiah 44:1-19
None of the remnant of Judah who have gone to live in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the land of Judah, to which they long to return and live; none will return except a few fugitives.
All the people living in Lower and Upper Egypt, said to Jeremiah,"We will not listen to the message you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord! We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and out ancestors, out kings and our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem."
Despite all that has happened in consequence of playing God false, the people still refuse to listen. They will go back to worshipping the 'Queen of heaven', and all will be well again.
We hear no more of Jeremiah after this. Tradition has it he was stoned to death in Egypt.
Why?
Those people who escaped to Egypt did not know what they have done and doing the same detestable things as they did in Judah. So God's angry pour out to them.
How hard those people's heart!
How?
Humble ourself and pray to the Lord do not let me away from the Lord!
