ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૪૪:૨૩
તમે ધૂપ બાળ્યો તથા યહોવાહની વિરુદ્ધ પાપ કર્યું અને યહોવાહનું વચન માન્યું નહિ. અને તેમના નિયમો, કાયદાઓ અને સાક્ષ્યોઓનું પાલન પણ ન કર્યું, તેથી જેમ આજ છે, તેમ આ વિપત્તિ તમારા પર આવી પડી છે.”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ४४:२३
क्योंकि तुम धूप जलाकर यहोवा के विरुद्ध पाप करते और उसकी नहीं सुनते थे, और उसकी व्यवस्था और विधियों और चितौनियों के अनुसार नहीं चले, इस कारण यह विपत्ति तुम पर आ पड़ी है, जैसे कि आज है।”

In context

21“The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t the LORD remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?

22Thus the LORD could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.

23Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”

24Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!

25The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’
