distorted

Jeremiah 44:17
"But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to 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 we had plenty of food, were well-off, and saw no trouble."

The refugees from Judah who dwelt in Midgol, in Egypt had a distorted view of both spirituality and reality. This is the nature of those who are deceived by the evil one. This is the nature of those who have strayed from God's Truth. Such is the nature of one who lives in the flesh rather than in the Spirit.
"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Cor. 2:14).
God is working in so many ways beyond our human understanding that faith and obedience to God's Word is the only way we can be certain to be blessed.

Father - keep me in Your Truth and Your Spirit. Amen
