Jeremiah 44 · Grade 4

The Queen of the Sky

Name Date

Read and Think

Jeremiah's last recorded message was to the Jews scattered in Egypt, at Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis, and Pathros. God reminded them that Jerusalem lay in ruins because of idolatry. He had sent prophets, rising up early and sending them. But they didn't listen and didn't incline their ear.

In Egypt they were burning incense to other gods again. God asked why they would bring more harm on themselves. They were not humbled even after all that had happened.

The people answered with open defiance. They claimed that life had been better when they worshiped the queen of the sky, a goddess of the heavens. They blamed their troubles on stopping, not on turning from God. Jeremiah said the opposite was true. The evil had come because they burned incense and sinned against Yahweh and did not obey his voice.
