25 Así habló el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, diciendo: Vosotros y vuestras mujeres proferisteis con vuestra boca, y con vuestras manos lo ejecutasteis, diciendo: Cumpliremos efectivamente nuestros votos que hicimos, de ofrecer sahumerios a la reina del cielo y de derramarle libaciones; confirmáis a la verdad vuestros votos, y ponéis vuestros votos por obra.

441Chapter 44 [Jeremiah]

1-6 Much of the church perished by departure from the Lord and by falsities of every kind. (3)

7-10 Now nearly all things left perish by means of knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man, nor do they refrain for fear of destruction, (3)

11-14 because they consult knowledges, and thus there is scarcely any residue. (3, 3)

15-19 They make themselves obstinate, and love things that have been falsified by knowledges. (3)

20-23 Their destruction in consequence of this foretold, (3)

24-27 even until nothing of the church was left, (3)

28 except a few things. (3)

29-30 True knowledges [scientifica vera] are perverted by reasonings therefrom. (3)

29 This shall be the sign to you, says Yahweh, that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

30 Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.
