But rather, we will certainly carry out every word that has proceeded from our moths, by burning sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as we ourselves, our forefathers, our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food and were well of and saw no misfortune.Now we understand why the people have turned away, even after seeing their homeland captured. They know God said not to do things, and it seems for a time they listened. But it was too little too late, and they later lost everything.
So now, they may still recognize that God exists and has at least some power, but they think their false gods have more, because while they were worshiped things were good. Why mess with something that was working before? Since calamity came after changing, we should go back and try to appease those we think we offended.
