Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 44:19

_ _ make ... cakes to worship her — Maurer translates, “to form her image.” Crescent-shaped cakes were offered to the moon. Vulgate supports English Version.

_ _ without our men — The women mentioned (Jeremiah 44:15); “a great multitude” here speak: we have not engaged in secret night orgies which might justly be regarded unfavorably by our husbands: our sacred rites have been open, and with their privity. They wish to show how unreasonable it is that Jeremiah should oppose himself alone to the act of all, not merely women, but men also. The guilty, like these women, desire to shield themselves under the complicity of others. Instead of helping one another towards heaven, husband and wife often ripen one another for hell.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 44:19

And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make for her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without (l) our husbands?

(l) This teaches us what a great danger it is for the husbands to permit their wives anything of which they are not assured by God's word: for by it they take an opportunity to justify their doings and their husbands will give an account of it before God.
