How does Jeremiah respond to the idolatrous practices of the Israelites?

A:
Unlike some of the later prophets, Jeremiah maintained the distinction between Israel and Judah. After a failed attempt on the life of Gedaliah, installed by Babylon as governor of Judah, Jeremiah fled to Egypt. Here he found Jews worshipping 'other gods' and the 'Queen of Heaven', possibly Astarte or Asherah. Jeremiah 44:3 says that they served other gods whom their fathers had not known, although scholars have established that the Israelites and Judahites had been polytheistic during the earlier pre-Exilic period.
Jeremiah was incensed and spoke of the wrath of God against the people he met in Egypt. He told them that just as they had forsaken God, so would God forsake them, causing them to be consumed by the sword and by famine.
