Commentary on Jeremiah 44:8

Theological / Devotional

Burning incense. These words imply that besides continuing in the familiar idolatrous practices of their own land, they engaged in those of the Egyptians. It was the danger of this idolatrous connection with Egypt that made Jeremiah opposed to every plan of alliance with that country.
