“But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.”
King James Version (KJV)
44:15 All the men - It should seem those that did it were mostly women, and that they did it with some privacy, so that all their husbands did not know of it.
