But since we left off {H2308} to burn incense {H6999} to the queen {H4446} of heaven {H8064}, and to pour out {H5258} drink offerings {H5262} unto her, we have wanted {H2637} all things, and have been consumed {H8552} by the sword {H2719} and by the famine {H7458}.

But since we stopped offering to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything, and we have been destroyed by sword and famine."
